From July 2023, Christopher Nkunku will be a new Chelsea player! There were rumors back in the summer, during the current season, that the negotiations were going in the right direction, now the job is definitely done, at least according to the numerous reports. The French striker underwent medical examinations, all three parties agreed on the details of the multi-year contract.

With this, the German club owned by the Red Bull company will equal the record outgoing transfer from the summer of 2018, when they sold Naby Keita to Liverpool for the same amount. Since January 2019, the London club has spent over 400 million euros just on bringing offensive players and even with Nkunku, it seems that they still need to bring in more attacking power. Small place, big talents! Future Chelsea goalscorer comes from the same town as Serge Aurier and Franck KessieAfter all, the team only has 33-year-old Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who arrived at the club this summer and the talented Armando Broja as the recognized strikers. But, Broja recently suffered an injury which will keep him off the field until June, which leaves only Kai Havertz, who can play a ‘false nine’ position. On paper, they still have Romelu Lukaku, the most expensive of all Chelsea’s misses, who is set to return from his loan spell at Inter in the summer, but he is already making plans to leave the club completely. So, expect some more offensive signings in June, and maybe some even in January 2023. And one of them could be the talented 19-year-old central striker of Molde David Datro Fofana. The compensation for the Ivory Coast international should be just over 10 million euros, which is peanut money for the wealthy American owner. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6893005##
