“I think the project was good for me,” Nkunku told the club’s media. “It’s a good project for me to develop as a player and as a man.

Asked what the fans can expect from him, Nkunku continued: “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 to make them so happy , as I am here in this club.

“I haven’t had the chance to speak to him, not yet,” Nkunku said of Chelsea’s new boss. “I’ve talked a little bit about him with some of my friends in Paris. I’m talking a little bit about him with some of the players. They told me he’s a very good coach and I’m excited to work with him.”
