Nkunku netted 23 times in 36 games for the Bundesliga side last season and became the first major arrival at Stamford Bridge since Mauricio Pochettino was brought in as the new Chelsea boss.

“I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea,” Nkunku told the club’s website.

“A big effort was made to bring me to the club and I am looking forward to meeting my new coach and team-mates and showing the Chelsea supporters what I can do on the pitch.”

Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, said, “Christopher will add quality, creativity and versatility to our squad.”
