I have rarely seen - Wesley Fofana praises Chelsea attacker

13 October 2024 - 21:15

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has heaped praise on Christopher Nkunku ahead of the Premier League restart this weekend.

  • Arsenal star expected to start vs Chelsea after injury
  • Chelsea have joined the race to sign 23-goal striker

  • Nkunku has been in-and-out of the starting plans of manager Enzo Maresca this term due to the impressive form of Nicolas Jackson up front.

    He has still made a good impression with seven goals in 11 appearances and Fofana has praised the Frenchman's finishing ability.

    He said in an interview with Telefoot: "I have rarely seen someone finish so well in front of goal."

    Nkunku joined the Blues with plenty of hype in the summer of 2023, but he had a difficult debut campaign with long-term injuries.

    He has got over his problems in the current season, but is no longer guaranteed a starting role due to Jackson's fine form.

    The former Leipzig man has to continue knocking on the manager's door such that he can break into the starting XI more often.

    Chelsea have a tough outing at Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
