Chelsea remain interested in signing Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig this summer, football.london understands. The Blues have a long-term interest in the Frenchman and scouted him during his sensational 2021/22 season.
Nkunku was crowned as the Bundesliga Player of the Season for his efforts throughout the campaign. The 24-year-old had 34 direct goal contributions - 19 goals and 15 assists - in 33 appearances in the German top-flight as Leipzig finished fourth in the table.
The Frenchman has established himself as one of European football's most exciting attacking talents and is wanted by Chelsea as we approach the 2022 summer transfer window. With Todd Boehly now closer than ever to completing his takeover of the club, the Blues will be looking around the world for players that can improve Thomas Tuchel's squad.
