Pochettino reveals where Nkunku is most effective

Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, has discussed where Christopher Nkunku fits best.

Nkunku, who joined the Blues from RB Leipzig, didn’t play for the team until last week.

The Premier League team lost 2-1 at Wolves last week, but he scored their first goal.

Pochettino has discussed the player’s position in his team prior to Crystal Palace’s midweek visit.

“I believe that his optimal position is closer to a 10 or a 9, rather than on the left or right side like a winger,” the man stated.

“Now that he is in the Premier League, he is beginning to understand that the football is very different from other countries and that the teams are very aggressive.”
