“Just looks lost” – Mikel names Chelsea ace who “doesn’t know what he’s doing” after Brentford draw

John Obi Mikel has claimed Christopher Nkunku looks “lost” as a number nine with the Frenchman really struggling this season.

Nkunku started the goalless draw against Brentford on Sunday but was replaced at half-time after a very ineffective performance.

The 27-year-old was linked with a move to Bayern Munich in January, and it’s likely he will leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Mikel on Nkunku

Nkunku has 14 goals and five assists this season, but only three goals have come in the Premier League, where he’s made 26 appearances.

The Frenchman has been heavily criticised for his performances, and it’s fair to say he’s not lived up to expectations since joining from RB Leipzig for £52m in the summer of 2023.
