, Chelsea ‘ready to launch transfer bid for Christopher Nkunku and rival Man Utd for RB Leipzig striker’s signature

CHELSEA are interested in signing RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku but will need to sell attackers first, according to reports.

Nkunku has caught the eye of several clubs following his astonishing form this season, scoring 34 goals and assisting 20 across all competitions.

Chelsea may have to sell players before making a move for Christopher Nkunku

Manchester United want to sign the Frenchman who is thought to be in talks over a new deal with Leipzig.

Chelsea believe they can disrupt those talks and entice the 24-year-old to Stamford Bridge this summer, according to Goal.

But first they may have to sell players to raise transfer funds and make space in their squad for Nkunku.

Thomas Tuchel faces a rebuild when the transfer market opens and signing defenders is his major priority, not new forwards.
