Nkunku excited with Chelsea move: I will give everything for the club

Christopher Nkunku is delighted with his move to Chelsea.

The France striker's switch from RB Leipzig was confirmed this week.

Nkunku told chelseafc.com: "We can say that I am a hard worker. I will give everything for the club, for the fans and to help the team bring some trophies. To give the best of my football. I hope I will make them as happy as I am to be here at this club.

"On the pitch I'm a bit quiet, but I can speak, I can shout also. But I'm very focused on the football and about winning, to do everything right, so I can say I speak with my feet. But it's important obviously to speak to the boys on the pitch.'

"I think the project was good for me. It is a good project for me to develop myself as a player and a man also. And this is a good city, after all, and for sure I want to improve in football and I want to win trophies and improve myself also. So I think this is a good project for me at this moment. This is a good project, for sure.

"I don't know London so much. I only know some stadiums because I played here against Tottenham and Arsenal before. But apart from that I've never visited London before.

"I know some of the players. I know Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana a little from the national team but I'm excited to meet them again, to get to know them better and to work with them here."
