Chelsea players celebrate with teammate Wesley Fofana after he scored their side

Chelsea’s first summer signing has been revealed, with the selling club confirming it already

Chelsea have already made their first signing of the 2023 transfer window.

It will come as a surprise to no one, given that Todd Boehly has spent £600 million at the club since acquiring it last summer – but the Blues have yet to give an official confirmation. Not a “comunicado oficial” or anything. Isn’t that usually what happens?

Regardless, according to various sources, Christopher Nkunku is 100% a Blue. Though there have been a lot of rumours this week of the player himself “considering himself” a Chelsea star already – Football Insider (opens in new tab) revealed that the deal is “wrapped up with all parties despite no official announcement from the player or either club” – it’s been stamped by the sellers themselves.

RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl told German outlet BILD (opens in new tab) in January that, “The signs are very, very clear that he’s moving to Chelsea.” It could even be that Nkunku is a replacement for the outgoing Mason Mount, who is locked in a contract standoff with his employers.
