Last season, he made just nine Premier League starts.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the 27-year-old is drawing interest from Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>Seemingly unsure whether Nkunku will remain with the Blues, Maresca said: <em>&#8220;If Christo is here with us, it is because we think he can help us, and he can be with us even next season. But as you said, there are many speculations, not just about Christo, about many players.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He added: <em>&#8220;And then if something is going to happen, I don&#8217;t know because we said many times when the transfer window is open, anything can happen in terms of players that can arrive or players that can leave.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chelsea are believed to be interested in Red Devils star Alejandro Garnacho. A swap for Nkunku has been mooted, and a deal may develop upon the Blues&#8217; return to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Premier League side <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/alejandro-garnacho-aston-villa-transfer-news-manchetser-united\/\">Aston Villa are also interested in signing Garnacho<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/chelsea-transfer-news-jamie-gittens-borussia-dortmund-seven-year-contract\/\">Chelsea are advancing on a move to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens<\/a>. The England U21 international is set to join on a seven-year contract once a club-to-club agreement is reached. He will reportedly cost in the region of \u00a350m to \u00a355m.<\/p>\n<h2>WATCH: ES Tunis 0-3 Chelsea Highlights<\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wr3VKamUjHM?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enzo Maresca has provided a transfer update on Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku amid reported interest from Manchester United.
