Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku: Thriving as a Striker

The former Leipzig star has expressed his fondness for playing as a striker, despite having experience as a midfielder and winger throughout his career.

Way before his arrival at Chelsea, Christopher Nkunku’s preferred playing position has been a topic of discussion among fans.

Now, the talented midfielder-turned-striker has confirmed his affinity for leading the attack.

Throughout his career, Nkunku has showcased his versatility by featuring in various positions, including right-back during his stint under former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel at PSG.

However, it was Nkunku’s impressive performances as a second striker that caught the attention of Chelsea scouts and ultimately secured his move to the Premier League.

While supporters had anticipated seeing him play as a number 10 behind a traditional striker, the 25-year-old Frenchman has made it clear that his true passion lies in spearheading the attack.

In an interview with the club’s media, Nkunku expressed his enthusiasm for the striker role, stating that his favorite position was striker and that he had also played as a midfielder.

He also mentioned that in recent years, he had enjoyed playing as a striker the most, stating that it allowed him to showcase his skills and protect the ball, which brought happiness to his game.

As the Blues’ squad undergoes crucial changes ahead of the upcoming season, the final decision on who will lead the line remains uncertain.
