Ex-Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has urged his former side to sign RB Leipzig playmaker Christopher Nkunku who he's likened to Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin. The Magpies winger has endured a tough season on Tyneside given injuries which have disrupted his campaign.
There's speculation linking Saint-Maximin with a move away from St. James' Park, but as Toon fans know all too well, the tricky winger is capable of turning a game on its head in the blink of an eye. Malouda claims the Magpies talismanic forward is the closest comparison to Nkunku currently in the top flight.
"Nkunku is a fully fledged France international, who left the PSG Academy and made the right decision to move to Germany," Malouda said. "I think this is the type of player Chelsea is actually missing, who are hungry and want to prove themselves.
