Christopher Nkunku nearly certain to leave Chelsea this summer | OneFootball

Christopher Nkunku (27) is increasingly likely to leave Chelsea this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, with more contact with clubs expected soon. The France international is open to a move in search of more playing time, while Chelsea have been prepared to part ways since January.Nkunku is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2029 but has struggled to make an impact since his arrival from RB Leipzig. A series of injuries and tactical inconsistencies have seen him drop down the pecking order, and he now appears set on a fresh start.As reported by Florian Plettenberg back in May, talks had taken place already with interested clubs. Bayern Munich and Arsenal are both keeping a close eye on the situation, alongside other sides across Europe. Other Champions League-level clubs across Europe are expected to join the race as more contact between Chelsea and interested parties are expected in the coming weeks.GFFN | George Boxall
