Fast start in Leipzig return
Nkunku has recorded a goal and an assist in his four league appearances since rejoining Leipzig.
Analysis: Nkunku has returned to the club where he found his breakout a few seasons back, appearing to have found a new gear in his career after a failed move to Chelsea didn't work out. He seems to be much happier back in Germany after a fast start to the season, as the attacker has only started in two of his four appearances but still has a goal and an assist. He will now continue to push for more starting time as he gets comfortable again, likely to have a regular role if he can continue to produce at this level.
Scores in return
Nkunku scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 5-0 win against Hamburger SV.
Analysis: Nkunku scored once on four shots and looked back to his best now that he's back in Leipzig. He was moving well throughout the match and caused issues everytime he got on the ball. This is obviously not one of the hard matches on the schedule, but it's still an encouraging performance during a total rout.
