Chelsea’s £52M-Rated Misfit on Arsenal Transfer Shortlist Amid Tottenham, PSG Links

On Sunday, Football Insider reported, citing sources, that Nkunku looks all but sure to depart Chelsea this summer and is likely to be on Arsenal’s transfer shortlist.

The report suggests Nkunku is “fully expected” to push for a move away from Chelsea this summer. Furthermore, the Gunners are among the clubs that consider him an option to strengthen their attack.

Arsenal are in the market for forward reinforcements. Despite the links to Arsenal, Nkunku isn’t currently at the top of their shortlist. Football Insider adds that Mikel Arteta could still turn to the 27-year-old.

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, recently reported the latest on Nkunku’s future. Bailey noted that the player’s representatives are actively exploring a possible move. Bailey expressed that the Frenchman’s camp offers the player to other Premier League sides.

“As it stands I am told that a move to Europe is the most likely option – but his people are touching base with clubs in England,” Bailey said.

“Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham have all been spoken to in the past few months. Chelsea want to recoup as much of their plus £50m outlay, but that looks difficult at this juncture.”
