Nkunku in a sentence

Brighton were impressive in the first half but Mauricio Pochettino’s levelled on 19 minutes with a smart finish from Christopher Nkunku.

Chelsea have already added Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson to their attacking ranks this summer, but the former is on the long road to recovery from a knee injury, as is Armando Broja.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said at the time he hoped the injury would not be a “big issue” for Nkunku.

Nkunku, handed his first start since returning from injury, collected a pass from Emil Forsberg and sent a left-footed finish into the right corner of the goal, chalking up his 13th goal in 21 league matches this season.

Nkunku headed in from Sterling's cross minutes later, but few Chelsea fans had stayed to see it.

Pochettino has stuck with his 4-2-3-1 formation in pre-season so far, with Jackson and Nkunku yet to play together, but the Argentine coach says that is simply due to fitness levels and availability and the Frenchman will be used in other positions.

Pulisic has just one year left on his contract and understands Chelsea are ready to cash in, having already signed Christopher Nkunku for £52million this summer and with further attacking options to come.

Signed to replace Christopher Nkunku – scorer of a hat-trick for Leipzig here – the Belgian may have emulated his predecessor had Marco Rose not taken pity on City and substituted him on the hour.

Actions, though, have backed up the new manager’s words, with Jackson’s contract extended earlier this month and here Maresca resisting calls to start Nkunku, who scored in both legs of last month’s Conference League qualifier, as well as at Bournemouth.
