Assists on return to club

Nkunku had an assist with his lone chance created during Saturday's 3-0 win over Gladbach.

Analysis: Nkunku entered the match in the 64 minute and set up Rocco Reitz for his side's final goal just two minutes later. The attacker is off to a good start in his return to Leipzig, the club where he has had the most prolific stretch of his career to date.

Returns to Leipzig on loan

Nkunku has joined RB Leipzig on a season-long loan deal from AC Milan on Tuesday. The deal also includes an option to sign him permanently.

Analysis: Nkunku has had the best moments of his career donning the Leipzig shirt, as he recorded 70 goals and 56 assists across 172 competitive appearances for the club across a four-season stretch between 2019/20 and 2022/23. He should see a steady role in the attacking third, though his exact position remains to be seen.
