Christopher Nkonku is unhappy at Chelsea because of his lack of first-team minutes.
And now the Frenchman could try and force his way out of the club, despite the fact that he is under contract until 2029.
Signed from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023, he had an injury blighted first season at Stamford Bridge, but those issues now appear to be firmly behind him.
Despite that, he has become a rotational player under Enzo Maresca, with most of his starts confined to the Europa Conference League, where he has averaged better than a goal a game so far.
Concerned though that his lack of involvement in the Premier League is harming his chances of adding to his tally of 14 international caps with France, he has issued an ultimatum, and could try and ask for a loan move either in January or at the end of the season.
