Aston Villa have made contact with Chelsea to explore the possibility of signing Christopher Nkunku, who is available for transfer. European clubs including Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are monitoring Nkunku's situation. Nkunku has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea after recent attacking signings, leaving limited playing time and a mutual desire for a move. Manager Enzo Maresca does not see Nkunku in his future plans. Aston Villa are also assessing Nicolas Jackson and Marco Asensio as alternative attacking targets as Unai Emery seeks reinforcements before the window closes.
Nkunku has been the subject of strong admiration from Europe's top clubs, with both Bayern Munich and his former side RB Leipzig understood to be monitoring his situation closely. Now, Villa have made contact to learn the conditions of a potential deal, signaling their intent to strengthen Unai Emery's squad with an attacking addition before the deadline. The French attacker is available on the market and it is clear that manager Enzo Maresca does not consider him a part of his plans for the future.
After making several attacking additions to the squad, Nkunku has fallen down the pecking order and playing time for him at Stamford Bridge will be highly limited. Along with the club's desire to offload him this summer, the player himself is keen on a move away from the Blues and Aston Villa are interested in providing that opportunity. Romano adds that Nkunku is not the only name on Villa's radar.
