Eddie Nketiah shut down claims made by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink during the first half against Chelsea this evening. Speaking on Sky Sports as a guest prior to the match, the ex-Blues forward and current Burton Albion manager stressed that he doesn't believe the 22-year-old "does enough".
"He is playing for a big club, I know him quite well. He has been at Leeds, didn’t quite work out for him but it is a big ask for the boy," he said. "It is going to be hard for him to get the ball in the right areas because he is not strong enough, he comes alive in that box so he needs that service to come into the box."
Shortly after, Hasselbaink explained why he would have preferred to see Gabriel Martinelli start against his former side, reiterating his claim that Nketiah offers limited movement in certain areas.
