Chelsea would 'take call' if Tottenham Hotspur decide to move for 27y/o attacker this week

Tottenham Hotspur could still have a chance to sign Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku if they decide to make an offer this week, according to a report.Â

Spurs are desperate to bolster their attacking areas following the ACL injury to James Maddison, but they have failed to land some of their major targets. Â

The north London club were in talks to sign Eberechi Eze, but the England international moved to Arsenal instead.Â

Spurs switched their attention to Nico Paz, but Thomas Frank has been left disappointed again after Como rejected a massive bid for the player.Â

Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie has been considered an option, but Spurs could face north London rivals Arsenal again in the race to sign him.Â

Chelsea could relax their transfer stanceÂ

The Blues are looking to offload some of their unwanted players to make room for new additions, and Nkunku is one of them.Â

The French attacker has been left out of Chelsea's matchday squad for the opening two games, and he is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with Bayern Munich reportedly keen for his services.Â

Spurs reportedly enquired about potentially bringing Nkunku to North London, but Chelsea refused to do business with their London rivals.Â

According to a report from the Daily Mail, while the Blues would rather not sell the 27-year-old to a direct rival, they will 'take a call' if Tottenham make a formal offer this week.Â

Nkunku prepared to take a pay cut?Â

Bayern are only willing to sign him on loan, while Chelsea want to offload the former RB Leipzig winger permanently, which leaves Spurs with a hope to land the attacker if they are really interested.Â

According to a report from the Telegraph, the Frenchman is prepared to take a pay cut to secure the right move away, the club valuing him at about £42m.

Nkunku scored 15 goals and provided five assists in 48 competitive appearances last term, and he could be a smart addition for Tottenham.
