An astonishing 30 goals and 19 assists have been recorded by the 24-year-old during his 45 games played this season, giving him an average of one goal contribution per 0.9 games.

Only four teams are in the running to recruit the Frenchman, according to Fichajes, despite the fact that this has drawn the interest of a number of European clubs.

Arsenal, AC Milan, and Inter Milan are reportedly rumored to be interested in signing the forward.

United are expected to name Erik Ten Hag as their next manager, and a major overhaul of the team is needed for the upcoming season. Since Nkunku is accustomed to playing in a pressing style and can play any forward position, the Ajax manager should be able to deploy him in any forward position he wants.

Since Alexis Sanchez's contract expires this summer, Arsenal has yet to join in on the bidding, but the Frenchman would be an ideal successor to his compatriot Alexandre Lacazette. As a false nine, Nkunku is no stranger to Mikel Arteta's side, with his stats suggesting that he's excelling at producing for the rest of them.

As long as the Premier League clubs are actually interested in signing the Frenchman, they won't have any trouble outbidding Serie A rivals.

Despite the fact that Nkunku's contract with the German club expires in 2023, if a huge offer comes in for the forward, Leipzig will accept it because they would lose the 24-year-old for free next year.

As long as one of those two teams is in the Champions League next season, it's possible that RB Leipzig's next move will be decided by the outcome.
