RB Leipzig's Christopher Nkunku flourishing after return to club
· Bundesliga-Official
RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku has been firing on all cylinders since returning to the Saxony club this summer, helping his team maintain their perfect start at home in the Bundesliga.
After opening his 2026/27 Bundesliga account in RB Leipzig ’s 5-0 victory over Hamburg on Matchday 3, Nkunku added to his tally with a hat-trick in his team’s 6-0 rout of Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 5.
His first arrived just four minutes after Ezechiel Banzuzi kickstarted proceedings in the first minute, before the attacker struck his second and third goals of the afternoon - and his 49th, 50th and 51st goals in Germany’s top flight for Leipzig across two spells - in a three-minute onslaught just before the break.
