Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has spoken out regarding Christopher Nkunku's decision to sign for the club.
Many have criticized the RB Leipzig attacker for picking Chelsea, given their situation at present.
A deal for Nkunku was agreed months ago, as he is set to join in the summer for a mega fee.
Former Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick questioned the move recently.
Johnson told King Casino Bonus: "I don't agree with Ralf Rangnick at all about Christopher Nkunku coming to Chelsea too early. It is not great at the moment but Chelsea are still Chelsea.
"A fantastic football club with fantastic players, there is just a lot of change going on at the moment. There is no dust that needs to settle. Nkunku is certainly not going to an in-form Chelsea at the slightest, but once a manager and the owners settle in at the club, Chelsea will be alright.
They are not a million miles away at all. Yes, at the minute they are struggling, but I don't think Nkunku regrets signing early."
