Nkunku has been linked with a move to Manchester United and there is talk of a swap deal involving Alejandro Garnacho, who is believed to be keen to join Chelsea. Maresca was asked about Nkunku after his side beat Esperance and he could not give any assurances that the Frenchman would still be a Chelsea player when the window closes.

Manchester United are considering a swap deal with Chelsea involving Alejandro Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku, according to reports. Chelsea held talks to sign Garnacho in the January transfer window but were unable to reach an agreement with United, who had lowered their asking price to €65 million (£54.8m).
