Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing RB Leipzig Christopher Nkunku in the summer transfer window.
Nkunku who has represented France at multiple youth levels and made his debut for the senior national team in March, has been in impressive form for the Bundesliga side this season, scoring 34 goals and providing 20 assists in all competitions, and he had a big role to play in their run to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
His current deal with the Bundesliga side runs until 2024, and there is no release clause in his contract.
Leipzig have no desire to sell what they regard as their prized asset and have offered him a new deal, but with Manchester United also considering a bid for him, may find the right offer too tempting to turn down.
