Chelsea and Arsenal have been warned that Christopher Nkunku will not be allowed to leave RB Leipzig this summer as the winger continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League. The London rivals are both looking to bolster their attack this summer and Nkunku has been targeted - with Manchester United also linked.
Both Thomas Tuchel and Mikel Arteta are on course to qualify for next season's Champions League with a place in Europe's elite competition a key bargaining tool in the transfer window. Nkunku has predominantly played as an attacking midfielder this season but has been used across the front line.
The 24-year-old has scored 32 goals in all competitions this season and provided a further 20 assists, so the clamour for his signature this summer is understandable. But Nkunku himself has remained coy on what his future holds, insisting he is happy where in Leipzig with over two years remaining on his current deal.
