Chelsea confident of sign RB Liepzig’s star in January

Chelsea have been linked with a move for RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku ahead of the January transfer window in 2023.

And according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Blues are confident of sealing a move for him this time around, having failed to complete a deal for him last summer.

The France international is now said to be a primary target for Chelsea, who are believed to be close to signing him.

Romano has told GIVEMESPORT that Chelsea are confident about concluding a deal for Nkunku.

Speaking to GMS, Romano said: “Chelsea are really confident. Chelsea are really confident because the player has already had a medical with the club.

“It was in September; then we had some denials because it’s normal to protect the player and protect the clubs in September. But what I’m told is that the medical was with Chelsea staff and for Chelsea.”

Chelsea would do well with a new forward amid their current poor form.
