Mauricio Pochettino has outlined his initial plan for Christopher Nkunku at Chelsea. The 25-year-old forward is said to have signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Blues this summer, though some final details need to be addressed before his transfer is official.
football.london understands that the west Londoners have sent scouts to watch the RB Leipzig star over the past couple of seasons – and they've been very impressed with what they saw. Despite having missed two months of the season, Nkunku shared the Bundesliga golden boot with Niclas Fullkrug scoring 16 goals.
It's believed that Chelsea have already paid the France international's £53million release clause, which becomes active this summer. football.london also understands that Nkunku is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge and he was impressed with how the Blues managed his transfer.
