Man Utd, Spurs scouting RB Leipzig star Nkunku: He has no weakness

Big Premier League interest is arriving for RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.

Fussball Transfers reports Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are all scouting Nkunku this season.

The 23 year-old, a €13m signing from PSG two years ago, struck a hat-trick in RBL's Champions League defeat at Manchester City before a brace and an assist in victory against Hertha Berlin.

Such form has United, Arsenal and Spurs all weighing up making offers for the French youngster, who has a deal to 2024.

RBL coach Jesse Marsch said on Sunday: "Christo has no weaknesses on the pitch.

“He always listens very carefully to what we say and tries to do everything in the best possible way."

Nkunku is in his third season with RBL and despite his superb start to the season, the young attacker is still waiting for his first senior France cap.

This season, he has scored seven goals in nine appearances, plus creating two assists. Interestingly, Nkunku is now represented by agent Pini Zahavi, who has good connections with Premier League clubs.
