Arsenal could ‘raid Chelsea’ for £52m star after January transfer approach
Arsenal are expected to reignite their interest in a stunning swoop for wantaway Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku this summer, according to reports. Nkunku looks primed to seek a Stamford Bridge escape at the end of the season, and a cross-London switch could be one of the options on the table.
The Frenchman joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in a £52million deal in 2023 but suffered an early long-term injury and has struggled to establish himself since. Nkunku is the Blues’ joint-top goalscorer this season, netting 14 times in all competitions, but Enzo Maresca often uses him on the wing rather than his favoured central position. And that’s when he actually gets minute, having grown accustomed to starting games as a substitute.
