Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made an enquiry for the Chelsea attacker, Christopher Nkunku, ahead of a potential move this summer.

According to talkSPORT, Tottenham are keen on signing the 27-year-old attacker, and he will cost over £50 million. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their enquiry with an official offer for the French attacker.

They have been long-term admirers of the Chelsea attacker.

Tottenham could use Chelsea star

He has 14 goals to his name this past season, and he has picked up five assists along the way as well. He is versatile enough to operate as a wide player, an attacking midfielder, as well as a striker. His versatility will be a bonus for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. They could use a dynamic attacker like Nkunku, who is capable of slotting into multiple roles. He will add goals and creativity to the Tottenham attack.

Nkunku has been hailed as a “top player” by his teammates.

The opportunity to join the North London club could be exciting for him. He has not been a regular starter for Chelsea, and he will look to play more often. Tottenham could provide him with the platform he needs.

Christopher Nkunku open to joining an English club

The report from talkSPORT claims that the player is open to joining a Premier League club this summer. He could look to return to Germany as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

There is no doubt that he is a quality player who has proven his quality in the Bundesliga previously. He could be an asset for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. The player will be desperate to prove his words in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Tottenham.

The reported asking price could be an issue for the North London club. They need to improve other areas of their squad, and they will not want to sign an underperforming player from Chelsea for over £50 million.
