Enzo Maresca on Nkunku - is he a natural No.9?
"I said since day one that Christo is not a nine, he is an attacking midfielder. We know very well that Christo is not a nine."
Enzo Maresca asked: Can Nkunku do what Jackson does?
"They are different on the ball and off the ball. Sometimes we complain about players but then when they don't play, you realise how important they are. He [Jackson] didn't play against Brighton and then everyone was thinking it is difficult to play without a nine. We know exactly how good Nico is on and off the ball. Christo is completely different on and off the ball."
