Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly launched a shock enquiry for the services of Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku.
The 27-year-old was an unused substitute for the Blues on Wednesday night, when they produced an excellent comeback to beat Real Betis in the final of the Conference League.
Enzo Maresca opted to bring youngster Marc Guiu onto the Wroclaw pitch instead of Nkunku, with the former supposedly attracting interest from Ipswich Town ahead of the summer window.
The striker could move to Portman Road as part of the deal for Liam Delap to swap the Championship-bound Tractor Boys for Stamford Bridge.
Nkunku has managed just nine starts in the Premier League for Chelsea this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists across 27 top-flight appearances.

Tottenham make shock move for Chelsea wantaway Nkunku?
According to talkSPORT, Chelsea are looking to offload former RB Leipzig great Nkunku before the commencement of the new 2025-26 campaign.
The report states that the Frenchman is keen on a switch back to the Bundesliga, namely Bayern Munich, who have chased the signature of the attacker in the past.
It is understood that Vincent Kompany's side were looking to wrap up a deal for Nkunku during the January transfer window, although they were deterred by Chelsea's asking price of at least £50m.
As well as enjoying the idea of a Bundesliga move, the forward is also similarly receptive to a switch across Premier League battlelines this summer.
In a shock revelation, Europa League winners Tottenham have supposedly enquired about potentially bringing Nkunku to North London in the near future.

Nkunku's Stamford Bridge struggles
After a 16-goal campaign in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig during 2022-23, Nkunku moved to Chelsea in a high-profile transfer in the summer of 2023.
The 27-year-old would be forced to wait until December of that year to make his Blues debut, though, after picking up a knee injury during pre-season.
Nkunku has struggled to cement a spot in the starting XI this season, with talismanic figure Cole Palmer the clear first-choice option in the attacking-midfield role.
