BREAKING: Christopher Nkunku Opens Up on Arsenal Talks and Transfer Condition
Christopher Nkunku has revealed that Mikel Arteta once approached him over a potential move to Arsenal during his time at RB Leipzig. However, negotiations fell through after Nkunku set a specific condition that Arteta wasn’t willing to meet. Although the transfer didn’t materialize back then, Arsenal’s interest has remained strong.
Now at Chelsea, Nkunku has once again been linked with a move to the Emirates ahead of the summer window. Speaking on the situation, the French forward confirmed he is willing to join Arsenal — but made it clear that the same condition he previously insisted on still stands.
Nkunku didn’t disclose the exact nature of the condition publicly, but sources close to the player suggest it involves guaranteed playing time in his preferred position.
Arsenal, who are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of next season, will have a decision to make. With Nkunku open to the move but unwilling to compromise on his terms, it remains to be seen whether Mikel Arteta and the Gunners hierarchy are ready to revisit the negotiations and fulfill his demands.
For now, the transfer is very much alive — but one condition remains the key obstacle.
