DONE DEAL: Christopher Nkunku delighted Chelsea move confirmed

Christopher Nkunku is delighted having his Chelsea move confirmed today.

The RB Leipzig agreed terms with Chelsea before Christmas and the move was announced this morning. He has arrived for £53m, signing a six-year contract in west London.

“I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea," Nkunku told the club's official 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.

“Having played in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, I now want to play in the Premier League, one of the strongest leagues in the world. I am very excited for this challenge and will be proud to wear the Chelsea shirt."
