The other two clubs are Man United and Newcastle. The latter, however, face an issue as the 24-year-old is not convinced about their project.

As per the source, Chelsea could become the first club to submit an offer to Leipzig.

Although the German side shows no desire to sell Nkunku who scored 20 goals for them in the Bundesliga.

But even at that, Chelsea still have a good relationship with Leipzig after a deal that saw Timo Werner swap Germany for London a couple of years ago.
