Christopher Nkunku, born on 14 November 1997 (age 28), is a French striker with RB Leipzig, where he wears the number 28 shirt. His current market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Leipzig in 2021-2022, when he scored 20 goals in 34 appearances. That is the sort of return that tends to keep a forward in circulation whenever bigger clubs start looking for attacking options, though Leipzig have had good value from him on the pitch rather than just on a valuation sheet.
In 2026-2027, Nkunku has made four Bundesliga appearances for RB Leipzig and scored once. His career profile is straightforward enough: a French attacker at an established German club, with his best work so far coming in a Leipzig side that has asked him to provide goals rather than just polish.
