Chelsea have announced their first signing of the 2023 summer transfer window.
The Blues said they have completed the signing of France international Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.
Recall that the 25-year-old signed a pre-contract agreement to join the West London side in December, the Blues have now completed the deal for a reported £63 million.
Nkunku netted 23 times in 36 games for the Bundesliga side last season and became the first major arrival at Stamford Bridge since Mauricio Pochettino was brought in as the new Chelsea boss.
“I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea,” Nkunku told the club’s website.
“A big effort was made to bring me to the club and I am looking forward to meeting my new coach and team-mates and showing the Chelsea supporters what I can do on the pitch.”
Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, said, “Christopher will add quality, creativity and versatility to our squad.”
