Chelsea might be in the market to deal forward Christopher Nkunku soon as talks have been swirling about him. Which club is actively looking to add Nkunku right now? None other than his old club, RB Leipzig.
It has been reported by The Athletic that Nkunku, 27, has not been happy with his situation at Chelsea.
Let's take a look at some recent history around Nkunku playing in the Premier League as well as the Bundesliga. Last season, Nkunu made a combined 43 appearances. Nkunku scored 14 goals despite just nine Premier League starts.
Nkunku became a member of the Blues in 2023. For Chelsea, his contract will end in 2029.
Also, he played at Leipzig for four years, scoring 70 goals in 172 appearances. Nkunku also captured the DFB-Polal twice in his time there.
What does Nkunku want right now? It appears that talks between Chelsea and Leipzig revolve around a permanent deal instead of a loan.
Chelsea opened up Premier League action by getting a scoreless tie with Crystal Palace, giving the Blues their first point this season. On Friday, Chelsea goes up against West Ham United. Chelsea hopes goaltender Robert Sánchez can have another excellent day after making four saves against Crystal Palace.
