'Join Nkunku' - Chelsea fans send Josko Gvardiol transfer message after Croatia vs Morocco goal

Chelsea fans had plenty of vested interest in the third place play-off match at the World Cup despite the biggest game of the tournament being played on Sunday. There are no Blues players in the final between France and Argentina, but there's plenty to keep an eye on over the weekend regardless.

Hakim Ziyech and Mateo Kovacic both lined up against each other as Morocco faced Croatia, but it was someone that Chelsea fans hope will join them at Stamford Bridge that stole the show early on, as Josko Gvardiol's commanding header gave his side the lead in just the sixth minute.
