According to reports, Chelsea are preparing bids for Christopher Nkku from several clubs in January.

Football Insider claims sources at Stamford Bridge have told him the club are expecting interest from Premier League and overseas teams when the transfer window opens in the New Year.

27-year-old Nkunku is believed to be “frustrated” by his lack of consistent game time at Chelsea, where he has been limited to appearances in the UEFA Conference League this season.

Nkunku has featured in 16 of Chelsea’s 17 league games this term but has started just twice.

🚨 Christopher Nkunku is not happy with his current role at Chelsea and will leave the club in January.

PSG, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are all interested.

Media in Spain are reporting that Nkunku’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has offered the Frenchman’s services to La Liga giants Barcelona.

It is believed that Barcelona sporting director Deco is hoping to sign a new striker to compete with Robert Lewandowski, but no action is expected until January.

Barcelona are reportedly keeping tabs on a number of potential forwards, including Marcus Rashford, AC Milan’s Rafael Leo and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Chelsea are currently enjoying a revival under Enzo Maresca. The Blues are second in the Premier League table, unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions.

Maresca’s side host Fulham on Boxing Day.
