“Since he (Nkunku) is getting ready to leave for another club, we also have to be ready to replace him and his upgrade would only cost £66m. He’s busy tearing it up in his current team” – This is according to Enzo Maresca as Chelsea is reportedly at the forefront of the competition to sign a “monstrous” £66m upgrade for Christopher Nkunku. The club is keen on strengthening their squad, with this high-profile transfer potentially offering a more formidable attacking option to enhance their forward line.

Chelsea had another action-packed summer, with manager Enzo Maresca overseeing the arrival of 11 new players and the departure of 26, including 14 loan exits.

The Blues spent £198.8m, with the standout signing being Pedro Neto for £51.4m. Alongside Neto, Chelsea brought in João Félix, Jadon Sancho, and others, but they failed to secure another striker to support Nicolas Jackson.

Reports suggest Chelsea is now leading the race for Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, a striker who has impressed with 23 goals this season.

Gyokeres is valued at £66m, and with Manchester United also showing interest, Chelsea is eager to strengthen their forward line.

His impressive stats, including 1.41 goals per 90 minutes, make him a strong candidate to complement Jackson. Gyokeres offers a physical presence in the box, something Chelsea currently lacks, which could boost their attacking play, while Nkunku may shift to a more creative role.
