Spurs have made a shock enquiry about a Chelsea player after it became apparent he is on his way out.

Chelsea followed Spurs in ending the season with a European trophy by winning the Conference League after coming from behind to beat Real Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw.

The Blues secured a return to the Champions League next season days before with a win over Nottingham Forest on the final day and already there's been plenty of noise about how their squad will shape on next season.

It looks as though Jadon Sancho will sign on a permanent deal after scoring in Wednesday's final, while Chelsea have won the race for Ipswich Town's in-demand striker Liam Delap for a fee of £30 million.

And the transfer may just put an end Christopher Nkunku's Chelsea career. The Frenchman signed for Chelsea for a fee of £52 million in 2023 from RB Leipzig and has scored 17 goals in 56 appearances.

But Nkunku, who suffered a knee injury at the very start of his tenure, has failed to establish himself as a regular at Stamford Bridge and was an unused substitute in the final, with Marc Guiu coming on for a late cameo instead.

The former Paris Saint-Germain forward wants to leave this summer and according to talkSPORT, he is to get his wish by moving on.

Bayern Munich moved for Nkunku in the January window but did not want to pay the rumoured ask pricing of more than £50 million, though the 27-year-old is said to be open to heading back to Germany.

However, he is equally happy to stay in the Premier League and Spurs have made an enquiry about Nkunku.

Though the likes of Jose Mourinho, Andre Villas-Boas, Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino have managed both sides, the last player to go directly from Chelsea to Spurs was Carlo Cudicini in 2009 after he ended a long stint in West London.
