Earlier this month, Manchester City and RB Leipzig served up neutrals with an absolute treat of a Champions League game.

The two sides were involved in a nine-goal affair, with Pep Guardiola’s side walking away the winners in a 6-3 scoreline.

While the three points went to the Etihad side, one man stole the show, and that was Christopher Nkunku.

The French midfielder scored a hat-trick against Manchester City in the exciting affair, and it appears his talent caught the eye of those in charge of the Premier League club.

We say this because Foot Mercato in France are claiming that the Cityzens are one of three big European sides chasing the player, alongside Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Little detail is given when it comes to Manchester City, but with nine goals in 10 games so far this season, as well as three assists, it’s clear he is a player on the rise, and with time on his side at just 23 years of age, perhaps Guardiola sees a player he can mould over the next couple of years before his contract expires?
