Christopher Nkunku transfer to Chelsea: Proposal sent, 'secret' medical complete, £52m clause

Chelsea continue to be heavily linked with a move for highly-rated RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku as Todd Boehly plans for the upcoming transfer windows.

The Blues spent more than any other Premier League club in the summer transfer window, signing eight new first team players including the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella. Graham Potter has been brought in as the new head coach, replacing Thomas Tuchel after the German was sacked following a poor start to the season.

Potter will be keen to add players that fit his style of football but must make do with the current squad throughout a hectic period of fixtures in the lead up to the 2022 World Cup. Nkunku signed a new contract with the Bundesliga outfit earlier this year, but is thought to be one of Chelsea's top targets for the summer transfer window in 2023.
