Nkunku on Man United's radar

Manchester United have their sights on landing RB Leipzig midfielder Christopher Nkunku this summer.

The Frenchman has made tremendous progress in the Bundesliga, and he is currently one of the best performers.

His progress has caught the eye of the Red Devils, who are now weighing up a summer approach for his services.

Leipzig are reluctant to lose him this summer, and it may take a significant prise to change their transfer stance.

Nkunku has been on the radar of several Premier League clubs including Arsenal, who are long-term admirers.

He was initially a central midfielder at Paris Saint-Germain, but has been transformed into a playmaker at Leipzig.

The 24-year-old has largely played in the number 10 and wide attacking positions for the German outfit this term.

His form has been truly exceptional with 19 goals and 13 assists from just 32 appearances across all competitions.

He has yet to earn a senior cap with France, but should be in line to make his debut during the next international break.
