Premier League giants will join the likes of Bayern Munich to fight for the signature of the man no longer first choice at Chelsea
Liverpool are reportedly ready to enter a transfer tussle with Premier League rivals Arsenal in a bid to sign Chelsea's unsettled forward Christopher Nkunku.
The French international is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with several European clubs keeping close tabs on his situation.
Nkunku hoping to end Chelsea nightmare
Once hailed as a coup for Chelsea following his explosive stint at RB Leipzig, Christopher Nkunku’s dream move to West London has quickly turned sour.
Injuries and inconsistency have plagued his time at Stamford Bridge, and under new manager Enzo Maresca, the 27-year-old seems to have no clear future in the squad.
Despite being tied to Chelsea until 2029, Nkunku is reportedly pushing for an exit, according to Foot Mercato.
His situation has not gone unnoticed, especially by Liverpool, who are said to have opened talks with the player’s camp.
Nkunku to choose from list of suitors
The Reds view Nkunku as a versatile attacking option capable of adding creativity and depth, particularly under Arne Slot.
With Arsenal also closely monitoring his availability, the stage is set for a classic Premier League showdown in the transfer market.
Nkunku’s desire to play Champions League football could prove decisive in where he lands next as Newcastle United are also reportedly interested.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich remain a major contender, especially as they assess life without Leroy Sané, whose contract talks have stalled.
