Christopher Nkunku will join Chelsea ahead of the new season but the deal to bring the 25-year-old from RB Leipzig is yet to be announced.

The French star signed his contract back in December ahead of a summer move and the signing of the forward is a huge coup for the West London club.

Many fans of the Blues might be wondering when Nkunku will be officially announced as a Chelsea player and according to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League club will do it once the latest round of international matches are over – with France finishing up on June 19 against Greece.

Nkunku is expected to be ready to join Mauricio Pochettino’s squad for pre-season and will be a game-changer for the timid attack of Chelsea seen throughout this season.

The France international has been sensational for Leipzig over the last two seasons and despite having an injury-ridden campaign, the forward still scored 23 goals and assisted a further nine across 36 matches over the last nine months.
