Chelsea transfer target Christopher Nkunku is "waiting to sign" his contract to join the Blues in the coming months, according to reports. The Frenchman has been a highly coveted option for many of Europe's top clubs over the past year, having impressed on the biggest stages.
Despite the 24-year-old signing a new contract in the summer, he is said to have a release clause that clubs can pay from next summer. The forward has scored 12 goals across all competitions for Leipzig, with his raw pace and ball control causing problems beyond defences at the same time as his passing ability allowing him to play deeper if he needs to.
Reports in recent months suggested the France international underwent a "secret medical" in the summer in preparation for a move to Chelsea. When asked about that, head coach Graham Potter gave a firm answer, telling journalists: "My answer to that type of stuff is unless it’s a player for us, I don’t really speak about other players, So, no comment."
