Chelsea transfer news: Blues finally announce Christopher Nkunku deal as spending spree continues

Chelsea have announced the signing of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.

The France international, 25, has signed a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge after months of speculation. He becomes the latest signing by Chelsea since Todd Boehly's consortium completed a takeover of the two-time European champions a year ago.

Nkunku's move to Chelsea will be finalised when the international transfer window opens on July 1. The Blues have paid £52million for the prolific striker, who scored 47 goals and provided 43 assists in the Bundesliga during his four-year spell with Leipzig.
