The Frenchman has attracted interest from a number of clubs, including United.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea would allow him join a Prem rival.

Nkunku still has five years remaining on his contract with the Blues.

The forward joined Chelsea in a £52million transfer from RB Leipzig last June.
