Harry Kane is about to face added competition at Bayern Munich, with Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku reportedly agreeing a return to Germany.
France international Nkunku will leave the Bundesliga in 2023 after scoring 58 goals in his last two seasons at RB Leipzig. At the time, he was looking forward to a new challenge, but his time in England did not go as anticipated.
Nkunku’s struggles with form and fitness have limited him to 42 appearances for Chelsea, including only five Premier League starts. The Blues are now trying to improve their attacking ranks, with youthful striker Mathys Tel on their radar.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have held talks with Bayern regarding 19-year-old Frenchman Tel. He has also spoken with Vincent Kompany about his future, as the youngster – with 81 appearances for the German giants to his name – is still determined to succeed at the Allianz Arena.
He may, however, form part of a swap switch that sees Nkunku take his place. That is because Florian Plettenberg claims that a “verbal agreement” is in place, with “all terms” drawn up. Tel could be included in that package “to make the transfer easier”, with Bayern ready to complete a permanent deal.
