RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku has dropped a hint over his future this summer after speculation has grown over a potential exit from the Bundesliga club after being voted player of the year.
Football.london understands Chelsea remain interested in signing Nkunku from Leipzig this summer, having scouted the forward during the 2021/22 campaign. Nkunku scored 35 goals in 51 appearances last season for Leipzig, 20 in the Bundesliga
Speaking on his future as the German club aims to tie him down to a new contract Nkunku said: “Paris is my home, my favourite club. I don’t close any doors. Everything is possible in football.

“It's nice to have the biggest clubs in the world interested in me. But it's also great to see that Leipzig are doing everything to keep me”.
Chelsea have been linked to a variety of attackers this summer as the aim to improve the Blues' productivity in the final third remains clear after a frustrating season. Thomas Tuchel inferred as much over this summer's challenge before the final game of the season over his current squad.
"If we stick to the group, then we will try to solve it with these players," Tuchel said last Friday. "Is it necessary to bring more offensive players around the box to create more distractions, to create more space for each other? We will ask that question. Can we do better in the structure? Can we push the players more? Did we rotate too much? Let's see."
