Christopher Nkunku insists he didn't hesitate joining Chelsea this summer.

The France striker arrived from RB Leipzg, admitting the Blues struggled last season.

Nkunku told The Times: "The season of Chelsea last year wasn't good, everybody knows this.

"This year is a new project, new year, new season. I am the new project and I am happy to be here.

"Even if Chelsea was 15th or 16th place, it doesn't matter for me because I knew that the new season would not be the same as last season.

"The club is not in the European competition but I want to have a main role in the team. Chelsea proposed this project to me and I am happy with it."
