Tottenham are showing concrete interest in a summer move for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed.
The Lilywhites have reportedly made an enquiry about the French attacker and are showing the strongest interest among Premier League clubs, despite recent links with Liverpool and Newcastle.
Nkunku is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and would welcome a return to the Bundesliga, where he spent four seasons with RB Leipzig before joining Chelsea in the summer of 2023.
He was targeted by German champions Bayern Munich in January, when the Blues were asking for more than €60m (£51m) for the 27-year-old.

Writing on X, Jacobs revealed that Nkunku would be open to staying in the Premier League amid growing interest from Tottenham:
Nkunku, who earns £300,000 per week at Stamford Bridge, has struggled for regular opportunities under Enzo Maresca this season, making just nine Premier League starts and another seven in Europe.
He was left on the bench for Chelsea’s 4-1 victory in the Conference League final over Real Betis on Wednesday, having been sidelined with a knock for most of May.
The Frenchman has made 42 appearances across all competitions this season, scoring 14 goals and providing five assists.
He signed a six-year contract upon his arrival from Leipzig in 2023 and has just over four years remaining on his deal, which runs until 2029.
