Chelsea are reportedly eyeing up a transfer move for RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku this summer....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
The Blues will need to trim their numbers in attack before bringing in the Frenchman, who is also in talks over a new contract with Leipzig, according to Goal.
Still, the report goes on to say that Chelsea believe they could hijack those talks in a bid to try to lure the Bundesliga Player of the Year to Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel certainly needs to make changes up front this summer after a disappointing season, with the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech really not delivering in terms of goals.
Chelsea remain a long way behind Liverpool and Manchester City on that front, so a signing like Nkunku seems ideal to help them improve and become a more genuine threat in the Premier League title race.
The 24-year-old was a stand-out performer in Germany in 2021/22, scoring 20 goals and weighing in with 13 assists in the Bundesliga.
Goal add, however, that Chelsea would need to offload players like Werner, and that could prove a challenge after his hugely underwhelming spell in west London.
