Christopher Nkunku only arrived at Chelsea last year, but it looks like his time in west London could already be coming to an end.
Christopher Nkunku has struggled to find starts in the Premier League this season and is now being linked with a move away from Chelsea.
Last week, it was claimed that Nkunku is prepared to leave Chelsea after making just two starts in the top flight under Enzo Maresca.
If the 27-year-old does decide to depart Stamford Bridge, it looks like he could have a few options.

Manchester United
Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Manchester United are in desperate need of reinforcements.
Ruben Amorim’s side just lost 3-0 to Bournemouth and find themselves 13th in the table. A signing like Nkunku could rejuvenate them and he has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
In fact, Amorim himself has reportedly identified Nkunku as a target for United ahead of the January transfer window.
Barcelona
In terms of ideal destinations, Barcelona are one side who are likely to be at the top of Nkunku’s list.

Barcelona are obviously one of the biggest clubs in the world and are currently competing for the La Liga title under Hansi Flick. It has been alleged that Pini Zahavi has offered Nkunku to Barcelona, so this could be one to keep an eye on.
PSG
Nkunku was once on Paris Saint-Germain’s books and a return to the Parc des Princes does not seem impossible.
Last month, it was claimed that PSG have made contact with Nkunku’s people about a potential move to Luis Enrique’s team.
Borussia Dortmund
Germany is where Nkunku made his name after a couple of spectacular seasons at RB Leipzig.
There had been talk about a move to Leipzig’s rivals Borussia Dortmund, though that looks unlikely to happen during the winter transfer window. Despite the links, Nkunku joining Dortmund has been ruled out by one journalist.
Which club should Christopher Nkunku join?
If Nkunku has his heart set on leaving Chelsea and all the above teams become options, then he should give serious consideration to joining PSG.
Nkunku never really got to prove himself there after managing to score just 11 goals in 78 games.
A move there would also get to see the France international return to his homeland and join one of Europe’s biggest clubs. And considering Barcelona’s financial issues and United’s struggles, it seems like the most realistic destination for him.
