RB Leipzig to replace Christopher Nkunku. RB Leipzig against Sport-Club Freiburg in Bundesliga. According to a report by a German writer named Florian Plettenberg, RB Leipzig is keeping an eye on Folarin Balogun, who is currently on loan with Arsenal from Chelsea, in order to find a replacement for Christopher Nkunku. The Blues are planning to bring the Frenchman aboard in the coming summer.
In the meantime, Balogun has established himself as one of the most promising players in Ligue 1 this season. This season, the 21-year-old forward has played in 31 games across all competitions for Stade Reims, during which he has scored 19 goals and contributed three assists. In Ligue 1, he is responsible for 18 of those goals scored.
The strong run of form that Balogun has been on has piqued the interest of prominent teams in Europe. However, it is unclear what the future holds for the kid at Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus is already a member of the Gunners’ team, and Leandro Trossard signed with the club in January.
On the other hand, Nkunku has been Leipzig’s most productive offensive player over the past few seasons. In 163 outings for the Bundesliga team, he has not only scored 64 goals but also contributed 52 assists. Nkunku has played in 27 games so far this season, during which he has scored 17 goals and contributed five assists.
The striker has reached an agreement to join Chelsea, and the move is expected to take place in the summer. As a result, Leipzig is eager to find a suitable replacement, and Balogun has emerged as one of their top targets as a potential player.
The matchup between Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League was scheduled to take place on April 29. The match, on the other hand, will not take place until May 2 due to the postponement.
The Gunners have just lately issued a statement on the topic, in which they claim that they are sorry for the fans’ disappointment. This change has been made as a result of the Metropolitan Police revising its position on policing the match. After working to try to find a solution with the Met Police, we are very disappointed with the impact and disruption this fixture change will cause to our supporters, particularly after this match had been initially approved for a Saturday evening kick-off. You can read the statement on Arsenal’s official website.
Gabriel Magalhaes of Arsenal scored the game-winning goal at Stamford Bridge in November’s first meeting between the two London clubs, which resulted in a 1-0 victory for the Gunners over Chelsea.
