As reported earlier by German outlet, BILD and now confirmed by transfer guru, Christian Falk as well as British outlet, The Daily Telegraph, the Todd Boerhly’s side held a secret medical checkup on Nkuku few days to the close of the last summer transfer window in a bid to have everything ready for next summer’s move.
