Former Manchester United interim head coach, Ralf Rangnick, has reacted to 25-year-old French star Christopher Nkunku’s decision to join Chelsea.
Rangnick said it hurts his heart to see Nkunku join Chelsea due to the state of the Blues currently.
Nkunku will join the Chelsea squad this summer from RB Leipzig.
However, Chelsea are yet to make an official announcement, but the West London club reportedly agreed to a £53million deal to sign Nkunku last December.
“I am also thinking of a player whose arrival at RB Leipzig I was a little bit involved in: Christopher Nkunku,” Rangnick told ZDF, as per BILD.
“For me, one of the best attacking midfielders currently available and who, in my opinion, decided to move to Chelsea far too early.
“Can you imagine that such an outstanding player comes to a club that’s in the state Chelsea are in at the moment?
“Personally, this hurts my heart. If I were his advisor or his father, I would be very worried right now.”
Nkunku has scored 15 goals across the Bundesliga and Champions League this season for RB Leipzig despite his injury woes.
