Chelsea close to signing RB Leipzig star

Popular football expert, Fabrizio Romano in a recent statement has said Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig next summer.

Romano made this known in a social media post on Monday as he said the Blues are edging closer to a deal to bring the 25-year-old star to west London ahead of next season.

The transfer expert also claimed that Nkunku has already undergone medical and it’s now just a matter of time until the contracts are signed and the deal is confirmed.

Posting on his personal Twitter account, Romano said: “Chelsea are closing in on Christopher Nkunku deal. Medical already done as reported in September, agreement in place with Leipzig for more than €60m clause / easier payment terms. Long term deal agreed starting from June 2023. Time to sign contracts then… here we go.”

Nkunku is the kind of player Chelsea need to boost their team, especially in terms of scoring goals. So far this season, Nkunku has scored 12 goals in 15 Bundesliga games for RB Leipzig.
