Chelsea holding stunning talks to get January swap deal done and dusted

CHELSEA are in initial talks with Bayern Munich over a possible swap deal including Christopher Nkunku and Mathys Tel, as the decision has reportedly been made to let the Frenchman depart Stamford Bridge this January.

Enzo Maresca loves to employ Jackson as his main man in the Premier League, meaning that Nkunku has only been able to get much of his minutes in the conference League and cup competitions, which is not what the attacker wants.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Tel has spoken with boss Vincent Kompany and hopes for a successful future in Bavaria, but we are hovering, and The report states that the club asked to be informed on Tel’s current availability and initial talks were held over a possible swap deal.

Among the Chelsea players discussed for a trade was Nkunku, according to German publication BILD. Any deal is in the very early stages, but talks have been held after initial interest from both clubs.

Ex-Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes Nkunku is a ‘talented player’ but doubts he will come good at Stamford Bridge and has tipped the club to offload him during the January window.

‘I can see Christopher Nkunku leaving,’ Sutton told NewBettingSites. ‘Enzo Maresca seems reluctant to use his bench and Nkunku hasn’t had enough regular game-time.

‘The fact he’s down the pecking order and not getting regular game time, it certainly tells you that Maresca thinks he’s OK, but you need more than OK if you want to push for the Premier League title.

‘He had that horrific injury but unless you get regular game-time, it’s really difficult to find that rhythm.

‘He is a talented player but it looks like another one where it’s just not going to happen for him at CHELSEA.’
