RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku will be staying at the club after signing a two year deal.

The news will come as a blow to Chelsea and Manchester United who had both been linked with the 24-year-old striker.

Leipzig announced the deal in a tweet that read: 'Christo is staying! RB Leipzig and Christopher Nkunku have agreed on a two-year contract extension until 2026'.

Nkunku enjoyed his best season to date in 2021/2, scoring 20 goals in 34 Bundesliga appearances. He had never previously passed double figures in a season.

He also scored 11 goals in 12 European appearances as Leipzig reached the Europa League semi finals.

The striker's form even earned him an international call-up in March, with the Frenchman picking up six caps since then.
