Arsenal to rival Manchester United for Christopher Nkunku deal?

Arsenal could reportedly battle Manchester United for the signature of RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku during this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 19 times and registering 13 assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.

A recent report claimed that Man United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick is pushing for the Red Devils to sign the attacker ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, according to The Mirror, there is also interest from Arsenal, with the Gunners viewing him as a possible replacement for Nicolas Pepe.

Nkunku has scored 11 times and registered nine assists in 22 Bundesliga appearances this season, while he netted seven times and provided two assists in the group stage of the Champions League.

The attacker, who is yet to make a senior appearance for France, only has two years left to run on his contract at Red Bull Arena.
