Glenn Hoddle Speculates on Christopher Nkunku’s Future at Chelsea
Former England and Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle has raised concerns regarding Christopher Nkunku’s future at Chelsea, suggesting that the forward may consider a move in the January transfer window. Signed from RB Leipzig for £52 million in the summer of 2023, Nkunku’s impact at Chelsea has been hampered by persistent injury issues, limiting him to just 26 appearances.
Hoddle recently shared his insights on TNT Sports, highlighting Nkunku’s current struggles to reach his optimum form. While acknowledging that Nkunku has shown glimpses of his potential—most notably, scoring in Chelsea’s 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos in the Conference League—Hoddle expressed doubt about the player’s ongoing satisfaction at the club. He noted, “The injuries are obviously there, he knows he’s not quite at his sharpest yet.”
In comparing Nkunku to fellow forward Nicolas Jackson, Hoddle stated that Nkunku possesses a higher clinical edge if given equal opportunities on the pitch. He remarked on Jackson’s progression and the trust he currently enjoys from the management. However, Hoddle voiced his concern that if Nkunku’s situation does not improve, he might contemplate seeking a departure from Chelsea in January.
As the January transfer window approaches, Chelsea fans will undoubtedly be keen to see how Nkunku’s form develops and whether he remains a key player in the squad or pursues new opportunities.

Inter Miami, led by Messi, were unable to secure a victory against Al Ahly in their initial match.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly played to a scoreless draw in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup. The match, held at Hard Rock Stadium, saw Al Ahly begin strongly, but Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, proved to be a formidable barrier. Ustari notably saved Trezeguet’s first-half penalty, denying the Egyptian side an early lead. Lionel Messi showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, but Al Ahly’s goalkeeper, El Shenawy, thwarted Inter Miami’s attempts to score. Both teams will continue their Club World Cup campaign on June 19, with Inter Miami facing Porto and Al Ahly playing against Palmeiras.
Recent reports from within Galatasaray, courtesy of Ali Naci Küçük, shed light on the conditions set by Victor Osimhen regarding his potential continued presence at the club. Apparently, Osimhen seeks assurance of a strengthened squad, exemplified by the acquisition of high-caliber players.
Küçük revealed that the recent signing of Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich was, in fact, a strategic move to satisfy Osimhen’s demands. Sané’s imminent arrival, on a 3-year deal, underscores Galatasaray’s ambition to build a competitive team. The club has reportedly offered Osimhen a substantial €14 million salary, inclusive of bonuses, as they endeavor to retain the prolific striker who previously scored 37 goals in 41 appearances during a loan spell.
Osimhen, however, remains deliberate in his decision-making process, urging patience. Galatasaray’s management is seemingly amenable to Osimhen’s requests, acknowledging the necessity of a strong team to secure his commitment.
