Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku could be on his way out of the club at the end of the season, and multiple clubs are keen on signing him.
As per Football Insider, Chelsea are expecting offers for the 27-year-old French international who has 14 goals and five assists to his name this season.
Christopher Nkunku needs a fresh start
He is reportedly unhappy with the lack of regular gametime at the London club. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can find a suitable destination for him this summer. They are expecting to sell the player in the coming weeks.
The French International can operate as a striker, a winger and an attacking midfielder. Whoever ends up signing him could have a very useful player on their hands. The player is still at the peak of his powers, and he will want to join a competitive club capable of winning trophies. He has been linked with Arsenal recently.

The player has a contract with Chelsea until 2029, and the Blues are hoping to recoup the £52 million they paid for him. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to pay that kind of money for the player.
Nkunku has done quite well for Chelsea despite the lack of regular game time this season. With regular opportunities, he might be able to get back to his best once again. He was regarded as one of the finest attackers in Europe during his time at RB Leipzig. He will want to get back to that level once again.
There is no doubt that he would be a very useful acquisition for most teams, but the reported asking price could make things difficult for his suitors. Clubs will look to sign him for a knockdown price, and Chelsea will have to be reasonable with their demands.
