The France international has concrete interest from some Premier League giants, which includes Manchester United, who have prioritized the forward.
Reports from L’Equipe suggest that RB Leipzig’s starlet has been handed a transfer request as the player wishes to move away from the German top-flight.
As reported by the French source, Nkunku made his decision because he wants to play with and against the greatest players in Europe on a weekly basis.
In 48 games for Leipzig in all competitions this season, the Frenchman has scored 31 goals and provided 20 assists (51 direct goal contributions).
Having looked at the statistics of the Frenchman there is no shock one of the most attractive prospects in world football.
The defending Champions League winners have scouted the player well and a bid in the summer is surely on the cards if the club’s new takeover gets completed.
There have been no official contacts with the player’s agent amid Chelsea’s ban which is yet to be lifted by the UK government.
Grabbing interest from one of the biggest clubs shows that Nkunku is destined for big things in his professional career going forward.

The Frenchman’s contract will be expiring in the next 24 months and there is a desire in the player’s mind that he wants to represent a big European team.
For the time being, Thomas Tuchel has a lot of alternatives for his Chelsea front three. Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Romelu Lukaku, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech.
Lukaku, on the other hand, has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge less than a year after his return. Last summer, Ziyech was linked with a move away from the club, and speculation about his future could resurface towards the end of the season.
