Chelsea have confirmed their capture of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.

The France forward has signed a six-year contract, after the two clubs pre-agreed a deal for Nkunku to make a summer move to Stamford Bridge at the end of last year.

The 25-year-old underwent medical tests early last season before an agreement was reached in December.

Nkunku, who had a buyout clause worth just under £53m in his RB Leipzig contract, should provide much-needed, additional threat to Chelsea’s goal shy attack which new head coach Mauricio Pochettino will be aiming to improve.

Chelsea released a video on Twitter confirming the news. They captioned it: 'Nkunku is a Blue!', before posting a photo saying: Welcome Nkunku'.
