Tottenham Willing to Do Loan Plus €45M Option for Newcastle, PSG Transfer Target

Fichajes reported Monday that Tottenham are one of the clubs showing the strongest interest in signing Christopher Nkunku. According to their sources, the club views him as a key addition and is open to negotiating an initial loan deal that includes a €45 million option to buy.

Recently, TEAMtalk reported that Bayern Munich and Newcastle United have also explored the possibility of a summer move for the 27-year-old.

Nonetheless, former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown spotlighted a major concern that Nkunku might have with the Magpies.

“Newcastle have been looking at Nkunku from Chelsea,” Brown told Football Insider. “But it will depend on whether Alexander Isak is staying or going.

“I don’t think Nkunku would be a direct replacement for Isak, but who is? He’s an option who could provide something different to their attack. But if Isak is staying, where does Nkunku fit? He wants to play regular football.

“Newcastle won’t be able to offer him that unless they sell first, which at the moment is unlikely. I think the player is open to staying in England, though, and he’s a better player than he’s been able to show at Chelsea.”
