Manchester City have announced the signing of Nkunku from RB Leipzig for a reported £59 million (around $74 million). The French midfielder has agreed to join the Premier League club, with the deal set to be completed in the coming days.
Nkunku is a highly-rated player who has been praised for his technical ability and vision on the pitch. He spent four seasons at RB Leipzig, where he made over 100 appearances and scored 28 goals. His performances earned him a place in France's national team, and he was also named in the FIFA World Cup squad for Russia 2018.
City manager Pep Guardiola described Nkunku as "a world-class player" and said that he will bring "world class quality" to the club. The move is seen as a significant coup for City, who have already signed several high-profile players this summer, including Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, and Bernardo Silva.
The signing of Nkunku is likely to boost City's chances of winning the Premier League title again next season. The club has had a strong start to the new campaign, but they will face stiff competition from Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea. With Nkunku in their ranks, however, City will certainly be one of the teams to watch out for in the coming months.
