Barcelona are interested in signing out of favour Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, according to reports. The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge due to his lack of minutes under Enzo Maresca this season. Nkunku has only started twice in the Premier League for the Blues - who sit four points behind leaders Liverpool - with the forward only finding the back of the net on two occasions.

Instead, Maresca has reserved Nkunku for the cup competitions, the Carabao Cup and UEFA Conference League, in which he has netted 10 goals. The Frenchman has begun to grow tired of his lack of minutes in the top flight and is seeking a move away from west London as soon as possible, according to Sport 45.

Nkunku's agent Pini Zahavi has seemingly offered the attacker to LaLiga leaders Barcelona, however, the Catalan side would only seek a deal at the end of the season and not in the January transfer window. Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is reportedly looking for a move away from west London.
