C Milan have signed Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea for €42m (£36.2m/$49m) on a five-year contract. The French forward leaves after an injury-plagued stint in London, where he never cemented himself under Enzo Maresca despite a £52m arrival from RB Leipzig. Nkunku managed just 11 Premier League appearances in his debut season after a serious knee injury and later fell out of favour. Milan now offer him a fresh start, hoping his creativity and versatility can reignite his career after a difficult spell at Stamford Bridge.
