The current one has started in similarly impressive fashion on a domestic level, with Nkunku scoring six times in eight Bundesliga appearances.
He also netted 11 times in 12 matches across the Champions League group stage and Europa League knockout phase, and four in six as Leipzig won the DFB Pokal - Germany’s FA Cup. Nkunku’s breakthrough season a year ago was spectacular, with his 34 Bundesliga appearances yielding 20 goals - only one of which came from the penalty spot - and 13 assists.
Chelsea could end up paying more than Nkunku’s reported €60million (£52.7m, $58.8m) release clause to persuade all parties to commit to the deal now, but they feel this level of investment represents good value for a 24-year-old who has blossomed into a prolific goalscorer and dynamic all-round forward in the Bundesliga over the past 18 months.
