Chelsea completed the signing of French forward Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig on Tuesday, in a deal reportedly worth £63 million ($80 million).

The 25-year-old has signed a six-year contract with Chelsea, which offers him substantial financial rewards. The Blues are currently undergoing a major revamp during the off-season, aiming to recover from a disappointing season.
“Chelsea is delighted to announce Christopher Nkunku will join the club from RB Leipzig ahead of the 2023/24 season,” a statement on the Blues’ website said.
Since Mauricio Pochettino’s appointment as Chelsea’s new manager at the end of May, he has made his first significant signing.
“I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea. A big effort was made to bring me to the club,” Nkunku said.
“I am looking forward to meeting my new coach and team-mates and showing the Chelsea supporters what I can do on the pitch.”
