Mauricio Pochettino is yet to officially start his new job as the Chelsea manager, but recent signing Christopher Nkunku is already looking forward to it. The France international's £52 million move to Stamford Bridge was made official this week, and the player is eager to learn more about Pochettino's plans.
In his first interview with the club, Nkunku revealed that he had not yet had the chance to speak to the Argentine, but had heard many positive stories about him from some of his friends and players from Paris.
He confessed that he is excited to work with Pochettino, and Chelsea will be hoping that he can be the prolific striker the club has been looking for. Last season, Nkunku scored a total of 23 goals in 36 games for RB Leipzig.
The 25-year-old began his career as an attacking midfielder, but believes his motivation and drive to constantly improve have enabled him to be successful in other positions too, including up front.
‘I want to improve, to progress every day, so wherever they tell to me to play, I play, and I wanted to improve in every position’, said Nkunku. ‘So that’s the way I go about everything and why I was able to score goals after changing. I was not surprised because I know my qualities, I know what I am capable to do, so I'm not surprised.’
Now that the transfer has been completed, Nkunku is looking forward to playing alongside some of the other Chelsea players. He is excited to see what the future holds, and is determined to make the most of the opportunity to work with Mauricio Pochettino.
