Christopher Nkunku’s signing to Chelsea from RB Leipzig has been confirmed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
Romano reportedly gave the “here we go” signal, indicating that the Blues have everything finalized and that he is now officially a member of the Chelsea team.
Although it is still unknown when announcements will be made, it seems like only a matter of time until the club itself confirms the relocation.
Despite owner and acting sporting director Todd Boehly’s opposition, Nkunku will go to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023. Despite Armando Broja’s severe injury, which will keep him out of action for the remainder of the season and leave the team lacking in the offensive department.
If a chance arises, Chelsea will consider its striker alternatives in the January transfer window, but Nkunku won’t be there. With 12 goals and two assists in just 15 Bundesliga games this season, the 25-year-old brings an impressive resume to the team.
In the Champions League, Nkunku has also contributed to four goals, and his versatility as a creator and striker makes him a dangerous player to have. In order to play again after missing the World Cup with France due to a ruptured knee ligament, he will be hoping that his form will remain strong.
The highly sought-after forward broke his silence over his next move in an interview with French television station Telefoot earlier this season, as reported by GFFN: It is not a secret. There are clubs that are considering me. It is flattering, yes, but it is also flattering that a club like Leipzig would go above and above to keep me.
