Christopher Nkunku reportedly wants to leave RB Leipzig amid interest from Chelsea. The 24-year-old versatile attacker has told the German club of his intention to leave this summer, according to L’Équipe, although Leipzig want to keep him regardless.
According to the report, Nkunku's decision is based on his desire to play with and against the European game’s best players on a weekly basis. The news comes after football.london reported last month that Chelsea have watched Nkunku for the past couple of seasons and, again more recently.
The Frenchman has scored an astonishing 31 goals and registered 20 assists (51 direct goal contributions) in 48 appearances in all competitions for Leipzig this term. With numbers like that, there is little shock that he has swiftly become one of European football's most sought-after talents.
