Arsenal could attempt to try and bring Christopher Nkunku to the Premier League this summer, according to a report from Sky Germany (via Mirror). 

It has been an interesting season for the 23-year-old with RB Leipzig. He has not managed to cement himself as a regular for Julian Nagelsmann’s men.

In fact, he has started just 13 times in the Bundesliga this term. Nevertheless, he has still managed to score seven goals and contribute six assists across the top flight and the Champions League.

And it appears that he could attract offers in the summer. According to Sky Germany, he is one of the players who could be offered the chance to move to the Premier League.

It is suggested that Arsenal may be interested in the former France under-21 international. The report notes that the Gunners wanted Nkunku before his move to Leipzig.

TBR View: Nkunku move would be an exciting statement of intent from Gunners

It is difficult to see a problem with Mikel Arteta’s men making a move for Nkunku, who was valued at around £35 million earlier this season (via Bild).

He is versatile, having often played as a striker this season. So he could potentially feature in a number of roles within the current Gunners system.

He has actually provided 17 assists in the top flight since the start of last season. Meanwhile, he has scored 11 league goals in that time.

And if Arsenal do indeed decide to make a move, it could be an incredibly exciting statement of intent coming out of the Emirates.
