According to reports, RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku has already completed a secret medical with Chelsea in anticipation of a move next summer.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Chelsea, and was strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last summer, but it wasn’t fruitful.

According to Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, Nkunku has already passed a medical with Chelsea ahead of a proposed move at the end of the 2022/23 season.

Similar reports from German outlet Bild also claims that the striker had had secret medical tests with Chelsea in a Frankfurt hospital in August.

Nkunku penned a new deal with Leipzig in June, but Leipzig are said to be willing to let the France international leave at the end of the season, now that they have agreed to sign Salzburg’s Benjamin Sesko, who will also join the German club at the end of this season.
