Aston Villa enquire about out-of-favour Chelsea star as £53million signing pushes for a Stamford Bridge exit

Aston Villa are keeping tabs on Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku as they look to add to their attacking options before the window closes.

Unai Emery's side are understood to be aware of the terms that the Blues would require to sanction an exit for the 27-year-old this summer.

Nkunku has been informed that he can search for a new club after Enzo Maresca made it clear that the France international will not feature in his plans this season.

The forward arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023 after his impressive performances in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig earned him a call-up to the French national team.
