Former Man United boss sends Christopher Nkunku and Julian Nagelsmann major Chelsea warning

Former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick has sent a clear Chelsea warning to Christopher Nkunku alongside a subtle message for Julian Nagelsmann. The former RB Leipzig duo could be set for a reunion in the Premier League at Chelsea this summer, with Nkunku arriving on a pre-contract deal and Nagelsmann outlined as the favourite to become Chelsea's new manager.

While the move for Nkunku to the Blues is yet to be formally announced, football.london understands a deal to bring the 25-year-old to west London is already in place. The deal between Leipzig and Chelsea for Nkunku was finalised towards the end of 2022 which will see him join the club on July 1, 2023 in a deal worth over £50million.

Todd Boehly will certainly be hoping Nkunku can solve Chelsea's major attacking woes which have been very prominent this season. From 31 Premier League games, the Blues have managed 30 goals and from 21 outings in 2023 only 13 times has the back of the net been found.
