‘Great player’, ‘perfect Gundo replacement’ -Man City fans reacts as club weigh up January bid for RB Leipzig midfielder

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is tracking’ RB Leipzig midfielder, Christopher Nkunku.

The RB Leipzig midfielder scored a memorable Champions League hat-trick against City – albeit in a losing cause – during a 6-3 defeat for the German outfit earlier this month.

According to to Fichajes via Manchester Evening News, the Premier League champions, along with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, have all identified the attacking midfielder as a potential target for one of the upcoming transfer windows.

The Frenchman, who s believed to have caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, still has three years remaining on his contract with Leipzig, who are under no pressure to sell one of their star players.

Nkunku came through the ranks at Ligue 1 giants PSG and featured 78 times for their senior side before joining Leipzig in July 2019.

After scoring seven goals an providing 11 assist in 40 appearances for the Bundesliga club last season, Nkunku has since made a bright start to the new campaign, contributing to nine goals in just eight appearances across all competitions.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Chief, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

Gundogan is still only 30 we can focus on his replacement when he’s actually leaving he’ll be here for a few more years

Not good enough.

Not a City type of player

— CHEF KAMACHI (@187Mlu) September 26, 2021

He can also play as number 10, he is a great player, I have seen him put really good passes between the lines, and he also has a goal

— Diego (@Dieguitocity) September 26, 2021

It’s only fair after getting a hattrick the last time. Don’t know much about him or his consistency but he sure does seem like a really good player.
