According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea appears to be close to finalizing the signing of RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.
The France international has recently displayed world-class talent in the Bundesliga, and it appears that a contract to bring him to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023 is “nearly ready.”
Chelsea supporters will likely believe that they needed to sign Nkunku earlier because, as Romano noted, the Blues will be looking to acquire a striker in January.

However, it is still unclear whether Chelsea will be able to move through with the Nkunku acquisition. According to Romano, the team may decide to look at a variety of alternative choices this winter.
Romano did not name specific names and suggested it might take a bit more time before we have a clear idea about who those names end up being.
“As I wrote in yesterday’s Briefing, Chelsea will now step up their search for a new striker in January. The Blues wanted one anyway, and the Broja injury makes their plans even clearer,” Romano said.
“Chelsea’s deal for Christopher Nkunku is almost ready, but for the summer, so let’s see what names they look at this January, it will take some time for them to work out their options.
“I can confirm again that Chelsea are not currently in the race for Cristiano Ronaldo, there are no negotiations ongoing, even though Todd Boehly was interested in the summer before Thomas Tuchel blocked the deal.”
