      Liverpool ‘could sign £52m Chelsea flop in shock transfer but face competition from Newcastle’

      LIVERPOOL have reportedly entered the race to sign Chelsea flop Christopher Nkunku.But the Reds face competition from Premier League rivals Newcastle, as well as a European superpower.Liverpool are set to battle Newcastle for Chelsea flop Christopher NkunkuCredit: GettyNkunku, 27, has struggled to shine since a £52million move to Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023.The 14-time France international joined off the back of several knee injuries.And disaster struck in pre-season when he hurt the same area once again, forcing him to undergo surgery.Nkunku has now been sidelined since February with a hamstring injury.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHe’s managed to score just 17 goals in 56 outings for the Blues.And as a result, Foot Mercato claims Nkunku will leave Chelsea at the end of the season.However, the versatile forward could end up remaining in the Premier League.It’s reckoned that Liverpool have emerged as shock contenders after storming to the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s debut season.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERSThe Reds could be set to part ways with Darwin Nunez.While the futures of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa also remain unclear.
