Nkunku, who extended his contract with Leipzig until 2026, was awarded 134 points in football magazine Kicker’s annual referendum, which polled more than 700 German sports journalists.
Nkunku was 6 points ahead of Robert Lewandowski, who has received the prestigious award in the past two years. The Polish striker left Bayern after eight seasons in Munich for FC Barcelona.
“I am very honored and appreciate such an award. First of all I have to thank my team, my coach and all the staff. Without their support it would have been impossible to realize such a season. I am now looking forward “, explains Nkunku, who last season was good for 20 goals and 13 assists in 34 matches.
