Thierry Henry has claimed that ‘the world wants’ Tottenham and Arsenal transfer target, Christopher Nkunku, as he told CBS Sports (27/04/22 at 10:50 pm).
The RB Leipzig forward, who will be in Europa League semi-final action tonight, is a wanted man across Europe, especially in the Premier League, with Spurs and Arsenal admirers of the 24-year-old.
A recently-capped France International, Nkunku is on the rise and given the money in England’s top-flight, it won’t be too long before he is dancing his ways past Premier League players.
Over the course of the season, the versatile forward has scored 30 goals and supplied 20 assists from 46 games in all competitions.
It’s some going from the RB Leipzig superstar, as legendary striker, Henry, shared that he ‘loves watching him’ in action.
“Yes I do love watching him,” said Henry of the Europa League star. “Goals and assists. He is just having fun this season. But he is adding goals this year.
“He’s in the national team now. His confidence. The world wants him.”
Both Spurs and Arsenal could do with a player of Nkunku’s talents because he can play across the front line.
Antonio Conte’s side are at their most dangerous on the counter, so his speed, guile, decision-making and quick-thinking ability would be deadly for a Tottenham team chasing Champions League football.
But so are Arsenal chasing that same prize, with Mikel Arteta building a young and ever-progressing team.
With Manchester United and West Ham United slipping away and possibly heading for the Europa League, it seems as though the race for fourth is going to be a straight shootout in north London.
Win that battle and those elite players might just land on your doorstep when the summer transfer window re-opens.
