24-year-old Christopher Nkunku is one of the most promising emerging talents across Europe.
The France international has established himself as one of the Bundesliga's outstanding players over the course of the past two seasons.
EA has continued the Ratings reveals this week by confirming the Top 25 highest-rated players from the German Bundesliga.
Following a breakthrough season last year, Christopher Nkunku has been handed a GIANT boost and an incredible card in FIFA 23.
Frenchman on FIRE
RB Leipzig's Nkunku was absolutely sensational during the 2021/22 campaign.
The Frenchman managed to net an astonishing 20 goals whilst providing 15 asissts in the Bundesliga last season.
Nkunku also registered seven goals and two assists in just six UEFA Champions League appearances.
These numbers seem even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that Nkunku plays a lot of his football from the midfield position.
It's easy to see why the young France international is one of the hottest properties in European football, with the likes of Chelsea, said to be interested in signing him.
The Ultimate FIFA 23 Midfielder
Given the level at which Nkunku performed last season, football fans were expecting a significant upgrade from his 81 OVR FIFA 22 card, and EA has delivered.
The Leipzig lad has been handed a GIANT +5 to his overall rating, taking him to an 86 OVR card in FIFA 23.
Nkunku's new card boasts incredible stats for a base card across the board, with 88 dribbling, 88 pace, 83 passing and 81 shooting.
EA has also decided to bump up the centre forward's skill moves this year, taking him to five stars, which makes his card even more 'meta'.
Defending and physicality is where Nkunku is let down, but once an Anchor Chemistry Style is applied, the Frenchman will become the complete midfielder.
