The Blues have agreed a £52million deal with RB Leipzig for the prolific forward, who missed the World Cup through injury

That deal has moved a step closer with journalist Fabrizio Romano revealing Chelsea have agreed a fee with RB Leipzig for the player.

The fee attached to the deal is more than £52million with the structure of the transfer also agreed to ensure that payments are easier to make.

Romano reports that Nkunku has already completed a medical and will sign a long-term contract that will begin in June 2023.

It’s been an impressive season for the 25-year-old, having scored 17 goals in 23 appearances for RB Leipzig this term.

Unfortunately for Nkunku, the forward missed out on a spot in France’s World Cup squad as a result of an ankle ligament injury picked up just days before the competition got underway.

As a result, the Bundesliga player of the year is set to be out until the New Year at the earliest and may even require surgery on the injury.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
