Pep Guardiola gives Christopher Nkunku Champions League verdict amid Chelsea transfer agreement

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has given his thoughts on RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku ahead of their clash in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The tie is finely poised after the first leg - which ended 1-1 - with plenty to play for as the quarter-finals are up for grabs.

One of those two sides will face Chelsea, who already booked their place in the final eight with a comeback victory over Borussia Dortmund. With the draw later this week, the Blues could come up against Nkunku if he guides his side through to the next round of the competition.

The French forward looks set to join the west London outfit this summer after reports stated there was already an agreement in place with Leipzig over a move. Nkunku is also said to have signed a contract that will make him a Chelsea player as of the opening of the summer transfer window.
