Chelsea have agreed deal to sign French star

Nkunku to join Chelsea next summer

Chelsea have agreed deal to sign French star

21 November 2022 - 20:17

Chelsea have already agreed the transfer of RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku, according to L'Equipe.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • The Frenchman is currently out injured for a number of weeks and he may not return to action until February next year.

    Amidst this, it is reported that the Blues have already agreed a deal with Leipzig. They will sign Nkunku in the summer.

    Nkunku had a medical with the Blues in September and reports claim that he will formally join them from next season.

    Chelsea have the option of signing him in advance for a higher fee, but that appears unlikely after his latest injury blow.

    The 25-year-old had to withdraw from France's World Cup squad as a result. He will be a big loss for Didier Deschamps.

    Nkunku currently has a release clause of £52m that becomes active in June 2023. Chelsea plan to pay a similar sum.

    Instead of activating the buy-out clause, they are expected to pay the same transfer fee over a number of campaigns.
