Nkunku preparing to join Pochettino at Chelsea

Christopher Nkunku is preparing to join Chelsea and their new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The RB Leipzig striker will move to the Blues this summer after agreeing a deal before Christmas.

While with the France squad, Nkunku said: "I am focused on gathering with Les Bleus. Everything that happens after, we will have time to think."

Asked about his favourite position and where he might play under Pochettino, Nkunku added: "I play where the coach decides. I don't want to be a problem but a solution.

"But I can be in front, in support or on the sides. I have this ability to adapt it - I like to be free."
