Christopher Nkunku

Christopher Nkunku of AC Milan was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France on 14 November 1997 (age 28).

Christopher Nkunku, born on 14 November 1997 (age 28), is a French forward now with AC Milan, where he wears squad number 18. His current market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His sharpest league return came at RB Leipzig in 2021–22, when he scored 20 goals in 34 appearances. That season remains the clear high point of his output, the one that still frames much of how his career is discussed.

At Milan in 2025–26, Nkunku has remained a regular first-team presence rather than a decorative name on the squad list. He has made 32 Serie A appearances, scoring seven goals, with further outings in the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa taking him to 35 appearances and eight goals in all competitions for the club.

Nkunku’s career has been built on productive attacking spells and sustained involvement at a high level. At Milan, he is still active, still used, and still contributing, even if the numbers are more steady than spectacular.

Nkunku's recent career arc showed a clear scoring peak before a more moderate return at AC Milan. From 2019-20 to 2022-23 he rose from five goals to six, then 20 and 16, before back-to-back three-goal seasons in 2023-24 and 2024-25. His seven-goal Serie A season in 2025-26 marked a partial rebound, but not a return to his most productive level.
