The French international is a forward himself and after checking out his new training ground last week, Christo was asked which players he would like to draw inspiration from during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Nkunku will join the Blues from 1 July, and will get to know his new team-mates shortly after that date, when we return for pre-season training under Mauricio Pochettino.

‘I like Eden Hazard, for sure,’ the 25-year-old said.

‘I think, for me, he is a legend of Chelsea. I have played against Hazard in friendly games but I have never met these guys,’ he revealed.

‘And I obviously like Didier Drogba. My first memory of Chelsea is when they won the Champions League with Drogba, and Drogba ran with the cup.’
