Christopher Nkunku made an impressive debut for Chelsea in a pre-season friendly against Wrexham. The £52 million signing from RB Leipzig scored a fantastic goal, rounding the goalkeeper after penetrating the Wrexham defense with a well-timed run. Nkunku expressed his happiness about playing in his preferred position as the center-forward under Mauricio Pochettino.
After the match, Nkunku celebrated his first outing in Chelsea colors with an Instagram post. Reece James, who was absent from the pre-season tour due to illness, responded with a cold face emoji, possibly referencing Nkunku’s ice-cold finish against Wrexham.
Chelsea fans have confidence in Nkunku’s ability to score in one-on-one situations with the opposition goalkeeper, something that has been lacking in recent seasons. However, there are still questions about his best role and how he will fit into the starting lineup. Pochettino has four more warm-up games to figure out his plans before the Premier League opener against Liverpool. Chelsea supporters are eager to see how the 25-year-old speedster performs in the upcoming game against Brighton.
