After the arrival of their new owner, Todd Boehly, Chelsea went all guns blazing and spent a fortune on signings. They target young world-class players who can help them achieve success in the long run. And, Nkunku was on their radar.
The Blues managed to agree on personal terms with the player without much difficulty and medicals were conducted in September last year. Post that both clubs negotiated a price for the 25-year-old French forward.
Both parties reached a common ground by December and contracts were signed. The Blues managed to acquire the services of their priority target who would join them ahead of next season.
With the season done and dusted, the Blues are now all set to welcome the French international. They will sort out a few final details and then announce the 25-year-old as their new star. According to Romano, Nkunku should be unveiled as a Chelsea player very soon after all work regarding his medical and the contract were already done back in the day.
