Chelsea's Expensive Forwards Struggle to Deliver
The Radar is a Sky Sports column that uses data and opinion to shed light on key stories from the Premier League. This week, the focus is on Chelsea's attacking signings, who have failed to live up to expectations despite a combined transfer fee of £150m. With only four Premier League goals between them, the likes of Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho, Liam Delap, and Estevao have struggled to make an impact. In contrast, Manchester City's signing of Antoine Semenyo has proven to be a shrewd move, with the 26-year-old scoring more goals in nine games than Chelsea's quartet have managed in 78. Semenyo's instant impact has reinvigorated City's attack and eased their reliance on Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, Sunderland's Brian Brobbey has been producing clutch performances, with his goals worth eight points to his team this season. As the Premier League season heats up, Chelsea's misfiring attack is a major concern for manager Liam Rosenior, who will be hoping for a turnaround in fortunes against Manchester City on Sunday.
