Chelsea Sign Nkunku From RB Leipzig On A 6-Year Deal
Almost 8 months after secret medical tests, Christopher Nkunku has been unveiled as new Chelsea signing. I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea,” said Nkunku, who came through the Paris Saint-Germain youth system.
The player has signed a six-year deal with Chelsea which is valid until June 2029. Chelsea paid transfer fee close to €60m to RB Leipzig.
I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea,” said Nkunku, who came through the Paris Saint-Germain youth system.
“A big effort was made to bring me to the club and I am looking forward to meeting my new coach and team-mates and showing the Chelsea supporters what I can do on the pitch.”Having played in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, I now want to play in the Premier League, one of the strongest leagues in the world. I am very excited for this challenge and will be proud to wear the Chelsea shirt.”
Nkunku is Chelsea’s second signing of the summer after the transfer of 16-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder Kendry Paez from Independiente del Valle for €20m (£17.27m). He will not join the club until 2025, when he turns 18.
