Support Striker – The ‘Dele Alli’ Role
It has already been suggested that Pochettino may deploy Nkunku in the same way that he utilised Dele Alli during his time at Spurs.
You would have to say that Nkunku and Alli in their primes are different players, and it may well be that Pochettino opts to use his new Chelsea signing slightly differently.
However, if his numbers for Leipzig are anything to go by, picking him as a support striker or no.10 suits him perfectly.
Across his four years with the Bundesliga side, he scored 50 goals in 93 appearances playing in that role.
