L’Équipe: Red Bull gives you wings – Milan watch from afar as Nkunku rediscovers smile in Leipzig

Christopher Nkunku has revived his form while on loan at RB Leipzig from AC Milan, according to a report by L'Équipe. After an inconsistent first season in Italy following a move worth around €40 million, the French forward has made an immediate impact back in the Bundesliga, highlighted by a 38-minute hat-trick during a 6-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt on October 10.

RB Leipzig reportedly holds a €28 million option to buy Nkunku permanently, an option the club may trigger following his strong performances. Former German international Michael Ballack and Leipzig teammate Willi Orbán both praised Nkunku's quality and locker room presence, while AC Milan continues to monitor the winger's resurgence from afar.
