Why Christopher Nkunku may play a different role upon his return?
When Nkunku was out of the team, Pochettino started experimenting with the youngsters. One such youngster is Cole Palmer. The English youngster is currently in the best of his form. Nkunku’s return would only provide more options to the coach with respect to the attacking unit of the team. However, it’s upto the Argentine that where he wants to use Nkunku. Nkunku loves taking on defenders. He could play as an attacking midfielder. Who knows? Let’s hope the Frenchman gets a speedy recovery so that he can show everyone that what he’s got.
