Christopher Nkunku is joining AC Milan.
I Rossoneri’s main need from the transfer window has been the main striker profile, as the team has been relying solely on Santiago Giménez.
Although the signing of Nkunku can be considered a striker, it does not fully meet the team’s attacking requirements, as Nkunku has more of the profile of a second striker, playmaker, winger, or false nine.
Still, it is true that he was used as a striker on numerous occasions with Chelsea.
That said, Nkunku will be very valuable in Milan’s attack as he offers high quality in all aspects, regardless of in which position he is used.
In this Christopher Nkunku player analysis and scout report, we will explore Massimiliano Allegri’s possible options for reorganising the team following the addition of Nkunku.
The analysis will also shed light on Nkunku’s possible addition to Milan and what he can add to Milan’s attack.
The Dutch Eredivisie is approaching its fourth matchday already, and after three games, there is a huge surprise at the top.
Instead of the usual names like Ajax Amsterdam, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord Rotterdam or AZ Alkmaar, NEC Nijmegen are leading the league heading into the weekend.
Scoring 12 goals while only conceding one in three games is impressive enough, but not just the results are impressive, NEC have put in three impressive performances to start the season; they are not just efficient, they are just a really good team.
There are multiple things that make them so special, but the most impressive part of their game is their play in possession.
With nearly 65% of possession in their opening three games, NEC are leading the league in terms of possession and the table, so we will examine that facet of their game in this article.
After a rather average season, the club decided on a coaching change this offseason, hiring Dick Schreuder, brother of former Hoffenheim and Ajax coach and FC Barcelona assistant coach Alfred Schreuder.
Schreuder was an assistant for a long time before taking over PEC Zwolle and promoting them back to the Eredivisie in 2023.
After that, he promoted Castellón to LaLiga Smartbank, the second division of Spanish football, but got the sack during their first season in that league.
Now he has staken over NEC Nijmegen by storm.
In this NEC Nijmegen tactical analysis and scout report, we will take a look at the tactics implemented by Schreuder at NEC while in possession.
This piece will be structured from their build-up phase in the first line to the second line.
Lastly, we will take a look at NEC’s attacking play this season so far.
