Chelsea transfer alert after their top target admission he is ‘flattered’ by transfer interest in him.
Chelsea are expected to have one of the busiest summer transfer windows in the Premier League, with Thomas Tuchel no doubt giving Todd Boehly a long to-do list.
New defenders, midfielders and forwards are all on the wish list if the Blues are to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
And now, Chelsea have been added a transfer boost after Christopher Nkunku admitted attention from top clubs.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have all registered interest in the RB Leipzig player.
Chelsea transfer alert
Nkunku breaks silence
Christopher Nkunku lifted the lid on his future after having become one of the most coveted players ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
He was scouted by the Blues, and Thomas Tuchel’s side could look to make a move for him this summer.
In an interview with French television broadcaster Telefoot this weekend, as quoted by GFFN, Nkuku broke his silence regarding his next step.
He said: “It’s no secret. There are clubs interested in me. Yes it’s flattering, but it’s also flattering to have a club like Leipzig do everything to keep me as well.
“I’ll have to reflect well and make a decision. The World Cup is on the way and that’s another factor to take into account.”
According to French publication L’Equipe, Chelsea could be the first club to bid for the forward, with the west London outfit having been reported as long-term admirers of the player.
Despite this, RB Leipzig are said to have no intention of selling their prized asset this summer and, with two years left on his current deal, it would seemingly take a sizeable offer to get him out of the German club.
Nkunku is under contract until 2024 and told Telefoot that he will have to weigh up his options if a big club comes in for him.
