Chelsea have completed the signing of France international Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.
The 25-year-old made a pre-contract agreement to join the club in December but has now completed the move for a reported £63 million.
He scored 23 goals in 36 games for the Bundesliga side last season and becomes the first major arrival at Stamford Bridge since Mauricio Pochettino was confirmed as the club’s new manager.
“I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea,” Nkunku told the club’s website.
