Christopher Nkunku says he is excited for the challenge ahead at Chelsea after it was announced on Tuesday that he had officially joined the club. The Frenchman had been linked with a move to the Blues before a deal was said to have been completed last year.
It's confirmation of a move that has been a long time coming, with a medical and contract signings taking place many months ago. There was an agreement over announcing the move at the end of the season, but with RB Leipzig's involvement in the DFB Pokal final and then international duty, that was delayed until now.
The 25-year-old joins the west London outfit on a six-year deal and is able to play on both wings, as an attacking midfielder or as a striker. It marks the first first-team signing of the Mauricio Pochettino, even if the deal was completed during the era of Graham Potter.
