Christopher Nkunku continues to be linked with a move away from Chelsea as the January transfer window rolls on.

The Blues forward has been tipped to leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes on February 3. Bayern Munich are one club that have been credited with an interest in signing Nkunku, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions so far this season.

Enzo Maresca named Nkunku on the bench for the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City at the weekend, eventually bringing the France international into the game midway through the second half. That was Nkunku's first Premier League appearance since the end of December, having been an unused substitute in the previous three fixtures.

With a week to go until the transfer window closes, Nkunku is continuing to be linked with a move away from Chelsea. A fresh report has emerged claiming that Nkunku could move to a Premier League rival.

Caught Offside has reported that Nkunku would be open to a move to Manchester United in the days ahead. The Red Devils have been linked with a move for Nkunku, with a loan deal the more likely to get over the line, rather than a permanent signing.

Chelsea are reportedly demanding a fee worth €70million (£58.8million) to sanction the permanent exit of Nkunku. It has been suggested that Nkunku could end up signing for United, with interest from the Blues in Alejandro Garnacho potentially enabling the deal to get over the line.

Garnacho has been identified as a target for Chelsea this month, and football.london understands that the Blues could sign the United star before the transfer window closes. The left wing position is understood to be an area of the squad Chelsea want to strengthen, with Garnacho one player of interest.
