Chelsea seal £63m deal for Red Bull Leipzig's France star Christopher Nkunku

Chelsea have completed the signing of RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku, with the player officially joining the Blues in 2023.

Nkunku had been heavily linked with the Stamford Bridge outfit for some time, but Chelsea have finally got their man after the deal was completed on Saturday.

The French star scored 20 goals and made 15 assists in the Bundesliga last term, but is not the only talent from the German league linked with Chelsea, with Borussia Dortmund starlet Youssoufa Moukoko of reported interest.
