RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl remained coy when he was asked if Christopher Nkunku will join Chelsea following the DFB-Pokal final. The 25-year-old forward is said to have signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Blues this summer, but some details need to be addressed first before his move can be confirmed.
football.london understands that the west Londoners have been sending scouts to watch Nkunku over the last couple of years, and they've been very impressed. Despite having missed two months of the season, the RB Leipzig star managed to get his hands on the Bundesliga golden boot along with Niclas Fullkrug, scoring 16 goals.
It's believed that Chelsea have already paid the £53million release clause in the France international's contract, which becomes active this summer. It's believed that Nkunku is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge and he was impressed with how the Blues conducted negotiations.
