Cristopher Nkunku showed in yesterday’s game against Real Madrid that he is one of the stars of the moment. The French striker sent the Merengue defense into a frenzy, moving all over the German attack zone. With a left footed shot that hit the base of the crossbar, he managed to beat Courtois and make it 2-0 on the scoreboard, scoring his 12th goal of the season.
Nkunku has 12 goals in a great start to the Frenchman’s season, but where he really caused trouble was last season. The striker scored 37 goals and 16 assists in 56 games. World crack records that surprised all the followers of this sport.
In previous seasons, the player has given glimpses of his quality, but not to these proportions. His biggest scoring contribution was in his first season at the German club, where he scored 5 goals and 13 assists, the following season he got 7 goals and 9 assists, but it was 21/22 where he scored of 30 goals and 7 assists more than the previous one, so the jump in quality is huge.
From the PSG academyNkunku came to argue 83 games in the first team of Parisbut looking for more opportunities to play, he decided to leave for Germany in the 19/20 season, when Leipzig paid 13 million euros for him.
He was attached to the calls of Deschamps, and at the age of 24 accumulating 8 capsdespite the fact that it was very difficult for him to break in as a starter because of the Benzema-Griezmann-Mbappe trident.
Last summer he renewed ‘with a trap’ with RB Leipzig, since then renewed in exchange for an assumable clause of 60 million euros. Clause that all implies that you will pay Chelsea next summerbecause they have an agreement with the player.
