Chelsea are reportedly preparing to receive offers from several clubs for Christopher Nkunku in January.
Football Insider’s sources at Stamford Bridge have told them the club is expecting interest from teams in the Premier League and abroad when the transfer window opens in the new year.
Nkunku, 27, is believed to have been “frustrated” at his lack of consistent game time at Chelsea, where the team have only made appearances in the UEFA Conference League this season.
Nkunku played in 16 of Chelsea’s 17 league games this season, but only started twice.
🚨 Christopher Nkunku is not happy with his current role at Chelsea and would be leaving the club in January.
PSG, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are all interested.

Media in Spain are reporting that Nkunku’s agent Pini Zahavi has offered the Frenchman’s services to La Liga giants Barcelona.
Barcelona sporting director Deco is believed to be hoping to sign a new striker to rival Robert Lewandowski. However, no action is expected to be taken before January.
Barcelona are reportedly monitoring a number of potential strikers, with Nkunku’s name on a list believed to also include Marcus Rashford, AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Chelsea are currently experiencing something of a resurgence under Enzo Maresca. The Blues are second in the Premier League table and are unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions.
Maresca’s side host Fulham on Boxing Day.
