Christopher Nkunku excited to play with these two Chelsea stars

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.”
