Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea gradually confirm their improvement line by line And although the attack has not been a problem since the Pochettino era, with the summer reinforcements and the management of their new coach it seems to be consolidating.
The Blues have not stopped investing in improving their squad and although in this transfer market they added more elements as options to their attack, Those who have responded are two well-known faces of the club: Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.
Cole Palmer, who was instrumental in the previous campaign and stood out as the club’s best player by establishing himself as the top scorer and also challenging Erling Haaland for the league scoring title, maintains his streak and continues to lead the team.
Now, Palmer has found a partner in Nicolas Jackson with whom he leads the list of duos with the most goals scored since the start of the 2023/2024 season.Together they have been involved in 10 goals, followed by Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins on eight, Nottingham Forest’s Elanga and Wood, Arsenal’s Saka and Havertz and Nuñez and Salah rounding out the top with seven respectively.
