Chelsea signed Back to Romelu Lukaku for €120 million in this summer's transfer window, and all Blues fans are looking forward to the Belgian centre-forward continuing to wreak havoc like he did at Inter, but he has recently been knocked down by injuries that have affected his goal efficiency.
The Premier League has now been played for 10 rounds, with Chelsea ranking first in the Premier League. Looking at Chelsea's top scorer list, I found that nearly half of the current 26 league goals come from defenders, although Lukaku can not play, but the strongest person is already in the squad?
Chelsea's top scorer is 21-year-old Rich James, who plays as a right-back and has scored four goals in the Premier League this season, ranking fifth on the Premier League top scorer list.
James is an authentic Chelsea academy player. In the 2019-20 season, James made his first-team debut in the third round of the League Cup, while also scoring his first goal. He has since grown into Chelsea's main force under Lampard's promotion. Even after Chelsea changed managers, James was still the first choice for new coach Tuchel.
Looking back at his first two seasons at Chelsea, James scored 1 goal in 56 Premier League games, yet this season he has scored 4 goals in just 7 games.
Against Arsenal this season, he scored his first goal of the season with a blast to help Chelsea win 2-0. Chelsea swept Norwich 7-0 last week and James scored again.
In the Premier League last night, Manchester City and Liverpool failed to win, and Chelsea failed to score in the first half of the match against Newcastle. But after the start of the second half, James scored two goals in a row to help the Blues win 3-0 and successfully occupy the top spot in the Premier League. He also rose to become the team's top scorer.
Continuing to look at Chelsea's top scorers list, Mount and Romelu Lukaku scored three goals each, and tied with them was Chilwell, who played as left-back on the pitch.
The 24-year-old Chilwell showed his potential for a knife guard early on, scoring three Premier League goals at Leicester City in 2019-20 before being signed by Chelsea. In the 2020-21 season, he scored three more goals in 27 Premier League appearances at Chelsea.
In the first six rounds of the Premier League this season, Chilwell did not get a chance to play. At the beginning of the seventh round, Chilwell entered the starting lineup, and he completely converted the accumulated strength into goals, scoring goals in three consecutive rounds. Against Brentford, he scored the only goal of the game to ensure Chelsea's winning streak.
Third in the Chelsea team's top scorers list is Trevor Chaloba, a centre-back who has scored two goals. Trevo Chaloba, 22, joined Chelsea's academy with his older brother, but his brother was unable to stay at Chelsea after renting out several teams.
Trevo Chaloba has also experienced a career on consecutive loans, but he has seized his chances this season. The premier league first round was also Trevo Chaloba's Premier League debut, and he made the match even more memorable with a long-range shot. Tuchel continued to give Chaloba a chance to play, and Chaloba also lived up to his trust, scoring again against Southampton.
In addition to James, Chilvele and Chaloba, Thiago Silva, Rudiger and Marcos Alonso have also scored Premier League goals this season. Looking at the blues backline now, we should not ask who has scored, but who else has not scored?
