Graham Potter has been told by the club hierarchy that £53m star will definitely be joining Chelsea.
According to Teamtalk, Todd Boehly has assured the new Chelsea boss that the signing of RB Leipzig star is just by the corner as agreement has been supposedly reached.
The American Business man isn’t relenting on his spending spree despite big money arrivals last summer as Blues set to dive back into the transfer market ahead of the January transfer market.
Ever since taking over from Roman Abramovich, Todd Boehly has always had Christopher Nkunku at the visible part of his transfer wish list.
Following claims from Fabrizio Romano, Nkunku is just days away from becoming latest Chelsea signing as Blues reach agreement with the Bundesliga side with the time for the movement now yet to be decided.
Graham Potter will be bolstered should Chelsea manage to materialize the arrival this winter as the former Brighton continues to troubleshoot his team’s attacking problems.
With 17 goals and 4 assists so far this season, Chelsea are keen to walk on same route they walked when they landed the disappointing Timo Werner who was last summer sold back to Leipzig.
However Chelsea still have a lot of work to do on the deal as Leipzig boss, Marco Rose still have Champions League qualification at the top of his list and to achieve that he believes Nkunku should stick around.
Todd Boehly could play the hard card of submitting the release clause which the owners of Leipzig would hardly turn down.
