Man Utd get big push to sign Christopher Nkunku
manchester united They have reportedly received a big boost in the search for Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku, according to Soccer insider information.
The Red Devils have had scoring problems so far this season, scoring just 12 goals in 11 first division accessories. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are the two forward options United currently have and the duo have only scored one goal each.
So, has been recently reported that Man Utd are willing to sign a new striker in the upcoming January window to solve this problem and have expressed interest in Nkunku.
Now, Soccer insider information claims the 26-year-old is unhappy with the lack of playing time at Stamford Bridge so is willing to leave to play regularly elsewhere and would be happy to join Man Utd. Therefore, this is a big boost for the record Premier League champions in their pursuit of the French international.
Nkunku to Man Utd
After joining the Blues from RB Leipzig last year, Nkunku struggled with injury problems in his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge. He has now managed to overcome his fitness issues this season, but has found himself on the periphery so far this season under new coach Enzo Maresca.
Despite that, he has shown his goalscoring abilities for Chelsea every chance he gets this season. He has managed to score 10 times in all competitions and is now the west London club's top scorer.
Nkunku, valued at around £54 million by Transfer marketA still has over four and a half years left on his current contract, so Chelsea will demand a huge fee to sell the striker next year.
The 26-year-old is a versatile player, as he can play in any position in the attacking midfield and is also comfortable in the false nine role.
It will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions finally formalize their interest in signing the former Paris Saint-Germain star to bolster their attack in the upcoming January window.
Meanwhile, United are ready to start a new era under new boss Ruben Amorim after the international break. The Portuguese's debut would be against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
