New Chelsea signing Christopher Nkunku admits growing up a fan of Eden Hazard.

The Frenchman came through at PSG before leaving for RB Leipzig.

Now with Chelsea, Nkunku says two former Ligue 1 Chelsea stars were heroes of his.

He told the club's website: "I like Eden Hazard, for sure.

"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.

"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.
