When it comes to the worst player in the Premier League this season, many fans will name Manchester United's billionaire Antony, or Chelsea midfielder Caicedo. There are even some fans who believe that stars such as Haaland and Enzo have not performed as expected, so they should be considered poor performances. But in fact, although these stars have some shortcomings at this stage, or they are not worth playing as superstars. But the worst is Chelsea attacker Nkunku.
Although Haaland has been criticized by the outside world for being invisible, the soft-footed shrimp of the competition, and the data of the same period are far inferior to last season. But it is undeniable that Haaland still put in the performance of the Premier League's first range of strikers. If there is anything wrong, it can only be said that it has not met the expectations of the fans. Caicedo, Enzo and Antony may not be worth the same as their actual performances, but at least they are all diligent and dedicated to the team, and their enthusiasm and attitude are commendable.
And Chelsea's €60 million signing of Nkunku is a loss to the Blues. Not to mention the performance on the court, this attendance rate does make many media and experts think that he is a parallel product. After joining the team at a high price, Nkunku was injured unexpectedly before the start of the season. He wasn't named until the 17th round of the league, but he didn't play in that game and only sat on the bench for 90 minutes. Nkunku then made his official appearance for the Blues in the round of 18 and put in one or two very good performances, but that was about it. After playing seven games on and off in the league, he suffered another injury.
And then it has continued to the present, when many Chelsea fans are obsessed with arguing about the likes of Enzo, Caicedo or Mykhailo Mudryk, who is the most inflated? Many fans even forget that there is such a frontcourt attacker in their team, which is a bit of a stretch. With a value of 60 million euros, the team can rank in the top six salaries. However, he only scored two goals in two league appearances, and there was no follow-up. It can be said that the cost performance is extremely low.
You must know that when Nkunku joined the team, the outside world had very high expectations for him, no less than players such as Enzo and Caicedo, who joined at a high price at that time. Because in previous seasons when Nkunku played for Leipzig in the Bundesliga, he was always a thigh in central midfield. In addition to being able to play 40 games per season, the personal data can easily break through 20+10. It can be said that he is a very efficient attacker in the whole of European football. It was thought that he would become the new core of the team after joining Chelsea, further improving the quality of the Blues' attack. But it didn't happen that injuries would destroy it all.
To some extent, there is some truth in the British media Sky Sports calling it a parallel import. It's not that the players aren't motivated, but the attendance is a bit ugly. 60 million euros bought only 7 painless league games in a season, not all of these 7 games have been played, and the total is only 320 minutes, which is really low cost performance. A look at Nkunku's Chelsea resume this season reveals a string of knee injuries, muscle strains and recurrent injuries. It can be said that such a resume even reminds many fans of Hazard when he first joined Real Madrid. The players did show a lot of talent in a few games and the attitude of the players was okay.
However, due to injury, he missed a large number of games, resulting in extremely low cost performance, and finally it was called a parallel trade by fans. Now Nkunku is moving in that direction. For individual players, how to recover as soon as possible and return to training in an insurance way is the most important thing when the season's results are basically set. After all, judging by the talent he has shown in previous seasons, there is no doubt that he has what it takes to become Europe's No. 1 attacker. We must not end up on the road of parallel trading because of injury.
