Christopher Nkunku has revealed playing as a centre-forward is his favourite position after scoring on a Chelsea debut in the 5-0 victory over Wrexham.

A versatile forward, Nkunku is capable of playing in a multitude of different positions and started his career as a midfielder at Paris Saint-Germain.

“This [centre-forward] is my position,” said Nkunku confidently when asked about his preferred role. “I like to play this position to be free to move to get into space. This is my position and I’m very happy.”

He added: “We just need adaptation but we are working in training for this. The next week will be very positive and good.

“He’s (Pochettino) a very good coach. He helps us a lot. We have just started with him and, as I said, the next weeks are [going to be] very positive.”
