Nkunku will be making a big leap in his career when he leaves RB Leipzig to join Chelsea in the summer. The supporting striker has proven to be a beast in front of goal in Germany over the last couple of years. However, playing for the Blues in the Premier League is a different experience altogether.
Werner, meanwhile, spent two years at Stamford Bridge after leaving RB Leipzig in 2020 before returning last summer. While discussing Nkunku imminent switch, Werner has urged the Frenchman to get ready for a fresh escapade in London.
The 26-year-old recalled his rollercoaster spell at the club to prepare his colleague for what lies ahead, as he said:
Werner added:
Nkunku is poised to sign a long-term contract with Chelsea that could keep him at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2028. RB Leipzig will reportedly pocket £60 million from the deal.
Pundit urges Chelsea to sign £87 million-rated striker to partner with Christopher Nkunku
ESPN pundit Craig Burley has advised Chelsea to snap up Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and pair him with Christopher Nkunku up front next season. According to the Englishman, the two forwards will form a ferocious attacking partnership that will throw fear into opposition defenses.
It is worth noting that Nkunku has bagged 17 goals and four assists for RB Leipzig in 23 appearances in all competitions so far this season. Osimhen, meanwhile, has a record of 13 goals and four assists to his name in 18 games across all fronts.
