Chelsea have struggled in a number of key areas this season. Todd Boehly has spent over £600million in the last two transfer windows but has failed to bring in a striker that guarantees goals.
Kai Havertz has scored just nine goals in 40 appearances this season, whilst summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has only notched three in 20 games. Armando Broja suffered a season-ending injury during the World Cup break, whilst Aubameyang was omitted from Chelsea's Champions League squad for the knockout rounds.
football.london understands Christopher Nkunku has signed a pre-contract agreement with the west Londoners and is set to complete a move to Stamford Bridge from RB Leipzig this summer. The Frenchman has shown over a number of seasons that he is capable of scoring double figures and he could solve Chelsea's attacking issues next term.
