Christopher Nkunku could be set for Liverpool move despite intense Chelsea interest

Chelsea feel like they’ve got a huge lead in the chase to sign Christopher Nkunku from the Bundesliga.

The attacker has been linked with us so strongly that there was even talk of a medical having taken place in the summer.

As far as we can see, and as far as you read from insiders, he’s destined to come to Stamford Bridge next summer.

But you can never be sure about these things, and today The Daily Mirror report that Liverpool have joined the chase for the RB Leipzig attacker.

Given their struggles this season, it would not be surprising to see the Reds make a major splash next summer as they look to get Jurgen Klopp’s side competing with Man City again. Part of that could involve trying to steal Nkunku off us, and in fact we might find ourselves in competition with them across multiple fronts in the end.
