Enzo Maresca insists that he has 'no regrets' about Chelsea who does not close a deal for a new striker.
The side of West -London had a relatively quiet winter window according to their recent standards. The blues made only one permanent signature in the form of the 19-year-old Mathis Amougou from Saint-Etienne.
He is expected to train in the coming months in addition to the first team of Chelsea before he came on loan at Sister Club Strasbourg in the next term. A position that Chelsea wanted to reinforce is at Spits.
They were linked to movements for Marcus Rashford and Mathys only count to see the couple move to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich respectively. And since then, Chelsea's need for an attacker has only grown after injuries to Marc Guiu and Nicolas Jackson.
But Maresca insists that he has no problem with the club not signing a new attacker and is determined to guide the club through their current injury crisis. In a press conference he said that he “had no regret” over the window before he added: “I said after the West Ham game that the things we had planned in terms of players who had the desire to leave and the players that we need.
“In the end I think we did all the things we needed. Before the last game we had two strikers, Nico and Marc. Sometimes we also adapt to Christo [Nkunku] There, but in case they are both out, we will find a different solution. “
Chelsea's attacking misery might have been even worse if Nunku had left the club. The Frenchman was connected to both Bayern Munich and Manchester United, but finally stayed in Old Trafford.
Asked if he could stand in line for more opportunities, Maresca replied: “Yes, sure, certainly. I already talked about Christo last week. He had been playing against West Ham for more or more for half an hour. From now on, he Hopefully get a little more minutes and help us “
Furthermore, if he wanted to keep Nunku on Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea boss added: “Absolutely. I was at the club and we knew for sure that Christo was one of the players for the transfer window that was our intention to keep him. “
Nunku came to Chelsea from the German side RB Leipzig in 2023, but he only scored three goals about what an injury hit debut campaign was. He enjoyed this period a lot better Fortuin with 13 goals in 30 performances, although most of those strikes have come in the Europa Conference League.
