“What we love to see” “The Premier League ain’t ready”-Chelsea fans reacts to Christopher Nkunku playing new position in training (Video)

Chelsea fans are ecstatic as they witness CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU playing a new position during training.

The Frenchman moved from RB Leipzig for £52 million, and he arrived in London last summer.

However, he had a difficult first season due to injuries, playing in just 14 games and scoring three goals in total.

In his fleeting cameos in blue, Nkunku, 26, played as a striker, out wide, and as an attacking midfielder.

He was most typically used in a No. 10 role at Leipzig.

But, eagle-eyed Chelsea fans noticed him playing in a No8 midfield position in pre-season training in America.

One said: “The Premier League ain’t ready.”

Another added: “What I love to see.”

New Blues boss Enzo Maresca spoke out about his plans for Nkunku ahead of his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge.

Maresca said: “He can play everywhere, he can play everywhere.

“He’s one of the players that in these two weeks [of pre-season] is doing very, very well. He is already taking the way we want to play, that is important.

“As I said, these kind of players for me, they can play winger, they can play attacking midfielder, they can play No.9, they can play in different positions.

“What we are going to try is to try to have players that they can play in different positions, that’s the way I see the football, and also that’s the way I like to work every day to try to improve players and help them not only play in one position, [but] that they can play in different positions.

“Also, because sometimes many players say I can play as a winger and it’s for them it’s just there [in one position], but I don’t think if you move them five, 10 metres inside, that there are big changes.

“It’s just a matter of convincing them and to adapt but when they are a good player they can play in different positions.”
