Aligned in a false number nine position on Sunday evening against Italy, Christopher Nkunku delivered a good performance overall. The Chelsea striker left to settle in the French team.
Weighed down by injuries until now, Christopher Nkunku's career with the French team may be launched. For two meetings, the Chelsea attacking midfielder has been present and is evolving at an interesting level. Certainly, the player trained at PSG has not yet become the exceptional player he was when he was one of the best European scorers with Leipzig. But his very technical style of play is almost unique in the French team and even more so since the retirement of Antoine Griezmann.
In the After Foot on RMC after the success of the French team on Italian soil, Daniel Riolo rightly highlighted the performance of Christopher Nkunku, a player he now wants to see as a starter for the Blues. Because unlike Thuram, Kolo Muani, Coman, Dembélé or even Mbappé, very fast and swift players in one-on-one situations, Nkunku brings something different with above-average technical skill and interesting passing quality. .
Daniel Riolo wants to see Nkunku settle in Blues
“I still want to highlight some individualities. Christopher Nkunku is typically the kind of player I generally like. He's the type of player that the Blues lack, who are criticized a lot for the lack of technique. Casually, Lucas Digne too. He's not a media guy, but he's got a hell of a left foot. He's good on free kicks, we've seen that before. Set pieces, when taken well, are an additional weapon. Nkunku and Digne, I like their feet, I like their technique, I’m interested in highlighting them” underlined Daniel Riolo, who appreciated the performance of Christopher Nkunku but also that of Lucas Digne against Italy. Two players who bring real added value to the Blues on a technical level, and that doesn't do any harm, on the contrary.
