Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, recently shared insights on Christopher Nkunku’s optimal position within the team’s setup.
Nkunku, who made his debut for the Blues after his move from RB Leipzig, showcased his scoring prowess by netting his first goal in Chelsea’s 2-1 loss against Wolves last week.
Ahead of Chelsea’s upcoming match against Crystal Palace, Pochettino discussed Nkunku’s role within the squad, highlighting his proficiency in positions such as a number 10 or a number 9 rather than being deployed as a winger on the left or right side.
Pochettino emphasized Nkunku’s adaptation to the nuances of the Premier League, acknowledging the league’s intensity and the distinct style of play compared to other footballing contexts. This understanding is pivotal for the player as he acclimatizes to the demands and aggressiveness of English football.
