French forward Christopher Nkunku has sent Chelsea supporters into a frenzy about his fitness.

The 25-year-old summer signing has not kicked a ball in anger for the Premier League club.

Nkunku, who signed from RB Leipzig, has been dealing with a knee problem sustained in pre-season.

The French striker has been seen outside the club's training pitches in Chelsea gear.

While he is nowhere near playing games, Nkunku is thought to be starting light training.

Fans will be hoping they get a glimpse of the talent, who could solve the club's goal scoring woes, in the coming weeks.
