Liverpool looking to 'hijack' Chelsea's move for Christopher Nkunku with transfer bid

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Christopher Nkunku, despite Chelsea closing in on a deal for the RB Leipzig striker.

Nkunku, 24, has established himself as one of the best forwards in Germany after a stunning 2021/22 campaign, scoring 35 goals in 52 games to fire Leipzig to success in the DFB-Pokal - the club's first major honour - and a fourth-placed finish in the Bundesliga.

The Frenchman is the reigning Bundesliga Player of the Season and broke into his national side earlier this year, earning eight senior caps to date. He is hoping to be part of Didier Deschamps' squad for this year's World Cup in Qatar, which starts next month.
