Chelsea have finally got their man: Christopher Nkunku has signed a six-year deal with the club and will begin work at Cobham on July 1. It's a move that's been a long time coming, with the Blues agreeing a pre-contract with the 25-year-old late last year, and committing to paying RB Leipzig more than his £53 million ($68m) release clause to get the transfer done early. They'll hope he's worth the wait.
Despite the fact he has been an outstanding performer in the Bundesliga since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain, making 90 goal contributions in 119 appearances, Chelsea's decision to splurge yet more of their riches on another attacking player will raise many an eyebrow.
So, where does Nkunku fit into the Blues' plans with Mauricio Pochettino set to begin work as manager? GOAL assesses their options below...
