Chelsea have officially confirmed that their forward Christopher Nkunku has left the club to join Italian side AC Milan on a permanent deal.

Nkunku initially joined the London club in 2023 after leaving German team RB Leipzig.

The French attacker played 14 games and scored three goals in his first season at Stamford Bridge, which was disrupted by injury problems.

In his second season, Nkunku became more influential, featuring in 48 matches across all competitions and scoring 15 goals for Chelsea.

In another development, Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, along with his representatives Ali Barat and Diomansy Kamara, are traveling to Munich to finalize a move to Bayern Munich.

Football insider Fabrizio Romano reported that Jackson’s transfer to the Bundesliga champions is expected to be officially announced within the next 24 hours.

Bayern Munich are looking to take the Senegalese forward on loan and have agreed to cover his full salary as part of the deal.
