Manchester United have added RB Leipzig midfielder Christopher Nkunku to the shortlist for the summer transfer window - according to reports.
The 24-year-old is one of the top-performing players in Europe this season having scored 11 goals and laid on nine assists from 22 appearances in the Bundesliga alone.
Nkunku has totted up a staggering 32 direct goal contributions in all competitions.
Yet to be capped by France at senior international level, the former PSG man - who can operate centrally or wide - has grown in stature this campaign.
His eye-catching form has put elite European clubs such as Real Madrid and Liverpool on red alert.
According to ESPN, the Old Trafford giants are firmly interested in Nkunku, as well, as he prepares to enter the final two years of his contract, which could subsequently prompt Leipzig to cash-in this summer.
Nkunku has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba.
Not only that, interim manager Ralf Rangnick has recommended him to the United board as they gear up to launch a move for his services amid competition from Real, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Elsewhere, veteran Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani might be on his way to La Liga this summer.
That's according to a report from Spanish publication Fichajes - as per this article from Barca Universal - which hints that Barcelona are ready to swoop for his services.
Cavani is out of contract at the end of the season after signing a 12-month extension.
Speculation over his future remains at fever pitch and the 35-year-old is thought to favour a move to Spain despite claims he wanted to return to South America last summer.
