Chelsea have completed the signing of France international Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig.

The 25-year-old forward made a pre-contract agreement to join the club in December but has now completed the move for a reported £63million (€73 million) on a six-year contract.

He scored 23 goals in 36 appearances for the Bundesliga side during the 2022/23 season and becomes the first major arrival since Mauricio Pochettino was confirmed as the club’s new manager.
