Christopher Nkunku has named the two players who he’s most looking forward to playing alongside at Chelsea.
On Tuesday, Chelsea finally confirmed the arrival of Nkunku from RB Leipzig in a deal worth a reported £63million.
Nkunku told Chelsea’s official website: “I know some of the players. I know Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana a little from the national team but I’m excited to meet them again, to get to know them better and to work with them here.
“We can say that I am a hard worker. I will give everything for the club, for the fans and to help the team bring some trophies. To give the best of my football. I hope I will make them as happy as I am to be here at this club.”
Nkunku admits he doesn’t know London too well but believes he can admit quickly to the Premier League.
He added: “It was not an easy decision to leave Paris, because obviously I had everything in my life there, but I had the support of my family and my friends also.
“And yeah, for sure it will help me now. I think now I can adapt also quickly and I hope I will do everything to be ready quickly and this experience before in Germany will help me for the future here.
“I don’t know London so much. I only know some stadiums because I played here against Tottenham and Arsenal before. But apart from that I’ve never visited London before.”
