Chelsea have their own Olivier Giroud amid Mauricio Pochettino's Christopher Nkunku admission

Chelsea's two senior signings this summer – Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson – have both started their respective pre-season campaigns superbly for the Blues.

Jackson netted for the first time for Chelsea on Sunday morning, scoring the Blues' fourth and final goal in the 4-3 win over Brighton in Philadelphia. Nkunku scored Chelsea's first goal for the Blues to level the game against Brighton, just days after he struck for the first time in the 5-0 victory against Wrexham.

However, the new signings are yet to play a single minute together on the pitch thus far with Mauricio Pochettino replacing Jackson with Nkunku against Wrexham and then vice-versa in the win versus Brighton. Nkunku is a very versatile forward, who can play anywhere across the front-line and did so when he was playing for RB Leipzig, but so far he has been used predominantly as a No.9.

Jackson, meanwhile, is more of a natural centre-forward. There is a chance, though, that both of them could be used on the pitch together in the future as Pochettino touched on his post-match press conference following the win against Brighton.

When asked if there is a chance Nkunku could play deeper in a No.10 role behind Jackson, Pochettino told reporters: «For sure we will arrive in the next few games at the possibility to play them together. It is that the circumstance of the physical condition mean we need to use both to share the minutes.»

The link-up is an exciting prospect between two. Particularly when you think of how well Jackson has combined with his other teammates despite having very little time to work with them so far.
