Tottenham Hotspur have been handed the opportunity to sign the Chelsea attacker, Christopher Nkunku, at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old has been linked with an exit from Chelsea, and his representatives are now working to secure a new club for their client. According to TBR football, Tottenham have been spoken to, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an offer to sign the player.
Tottenham are long-term admirers of Christopher Nkunku
Journalist Graeme Bailey has revealed that Tottenham have a historic interest in the player and they have been following him for years. They could use a versatile attacker like Nkunku, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
He said: “As it stands I am told that a move to Europe is the most likely option – but his people are touching base with clubs in England.
“Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham have all been spoken to in the past few months. Chelsea want to recoup as much of their plus £50m outlay, but that looks difficult at this juncture.
“I am told the player is very happy in London, and so would a move to a Arsenal or Tottenham appeal?
“I believe it would but as it stands those options are not advanced – but Arsenal and Spurs both have an historic interest in the player. Both want a wide forward, so you could see the fit.”
The 27-year-old has 14 goals and five assists to his name in all competitions this season. He could be the ideal acquisition for Tottenham as they look to improve their attacking unit. The French International is capable of operating anywhere across the front three. He will add pace, flair and goals to the side.
A fresh start could be ideal for Christopher Nkunku
His move to the Premier League has not worked out as expected. He was one of the best players in the Bundesliga during his time in Germany. He will look to get back to that level, and perhaps a fresh start would be ideal for him.
Tottenham need more quality in the final third, and the versatile Chelsea star could be ideal for them. It remains to be seen whether they can negotiate a reasonable deal with their London rivals.
Nkunku will want to fight for trophies and compete at a high level. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince him to join the club. They might not compete in Europe next season, and that could be a major blow when it comes to attracting top players.
