Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku ahead of the summer transfer window.
That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the 27-year-old is open to staying in the Premier League.
Football Insider revealed in November that Nkunku could push for an exit from Chelsea as a result of limited first-team opportunities this season.
However, any deal for the Chelsea star is likely to depend on the future of Alexander Isak as he will want a guarantee of first-team football at his next clubBrown told Football Insider on 18 April that Nkunku will definitely leave Chelsea and is no longer a part of Enzo Maresca’s plans for the future.
Now, the former scout who remains very well-connected within the game after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted that while the Magpies are potential suitors, there are doubts about the move.
“Newcastle have been looking at Nkunku from Chelsea,” he told Football Insider.
