Chelsea board told £250k-a-week star should be a Blue in January window

Jamie O’Hara has slammed Christopher Nkunku for ‘moaning’ about his game time – but warned CHELSEA not to cash in on their sulking star.

Only afforded starts in cup competitions, the Frenchman has sttill been impressive, notching up nine goals in seven games in the Carabao Cup and Conference League combined.

However – with his Premier League minutes being limited by Enzo Maresca, there has been some shock reports in the media which have claimed that a move to Man United could be on the cards, as the Red Devils are reportedly interested in a deal for the French star.

But pundit O’Hara believes the club should not even think about selling Nkunku and said the forward must learn to wait his turn.: ‘CHELSEA should absolutely not be selling Christopher Nkunku,’ O’Hara told  Grosvenor Sport. ‘He’s a top player and they can’t be getting rid of him in January.

‘I don’t know what he’s moaning about to be honest – I know he’s not playing week in and week out in the Premier League, but that’s fair play to the likes of Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer.

‘Nkunku just has to deal with it – he was injured all of last season and has come back this year, so he needs to fight his way back into the team.

‘Chelsea are doing well and are in a good place at the moment, so Nkunku just needs to accept it and fight for his position.

‘Big clubs need top players in every position, so I can’t see Chelsea cashing in on him. Manchester City have top players in every area twice over, so if Chelsea want to get to that kind of level, then stuff like this is just part and parcel of being successful.’
