Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed his desire for Christopher Nkunku to enhance his performance, acknowledging the challenges Nkunku has faced, including injuries. While the manager praises Nkunku's potential, he emphasizes the importance of fitting him into the right role on the field, highlighting that Nkunku is neither a traditional winger nor a striker, but an attacking midfielder. Maresca's assessment comes after Nkunku's inconsistent start at Chelsea, pointing to the need for growth as they hope he finds his best form.
Maresca on Nkunku: I am happy with him. But I know he can give more. We expect more from him. But at the same time, we try to understand him. He is not a number nine and not a winger. He played as a winger tonight. He is an attacking midfielder.
Nkunku is surely good enough to make it at a big club, but it remains to be seen if Chelsea will prove to be the right home for him.
