Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old French attacker Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United are ready to go all out in order to sign Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku, who is frustrated at the West London club, who will demand €60 million to sell him.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done. They need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the French international would be a quality addition. Although he has not been able to showcase his qualities regularly at Chelsea, he is a top-class player and he has proven himself in the Bundesliga before his move to England.
The attacker is valued at €60 million, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. The attacker is capable of operating as the central attacking midfielder, a winger as well as a centre forward. His versatility will be an added bonus. Apart from his ability to score goals, he is exceptional when it comes to taking on defenders and beating them in one versus one situations.
He could add a new dimension to the Manchester United attack. Manchester United signed Joshua Zirkzee in the summer transfer window, but the Dutch international has not been able to live up to the expectations.
There have been rumours that Manchester United could look to part ways with the player. They will need to replace him adequately. Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford are the only other attacking options at their disposal right now.
Nkunku needs a fresh start
Christopher Nkunku will be desperate to prove his quality in the Premier League, and a fresh start could appeal to him. Manchester United have brought in a quality manager in Ruben Amorim, and they are expected to employ a free-flowing attacking approach under him. The French attacker could thrive in their system, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The reported €60 million asking price could be an issue for Manchester United. The Frenchman has not performed up at Chelsea, and Manchester United will be hoping to sign him for a knockdown price. It will be interesting to see if the Blues are willing to set a reasonable price for the attacker.
