Sam Allardyce says Chelsea could win the Premier League if they had £51m Man City player
Chelsea are second in the Premier League as things stand, but Enzo Maresca is keen to not get dragged into any title race chat.
Indeed, while some believe Chelsea are title contenders, the Blues’ manager ဣand players are refuღsing to talk about winning the league.
That’s in spite of their current good position.

Chelsea would win the league if they had Erling Haaland
Allardyce spoke about Chelsea’s title chances.
Big Sam reckons that the Blues aren’t clin𝔉ical enough, stating that they would win the league if they had a striker like Erling Haaland.
Chelsea have been in the market for a new striker recently as Victor Osimhen has been linked with Chelsea.
“I mean Chelsea’s chances created to goals scored is really good, chances created, but goals scored could be better. If t𓂃hey had a pure finisher like Haaland they could win the league. I still think they’re slightly suspect defensively,” Allardyc🍬e said.
Erling Haaland compared to Nicolas Jackson
Every team in world football could do with a player like Erling Haaland, but to say that Chelsea’s attacking options aren’t up to scratch is slightly unfai🌳r.
Chelsea have scored more goals than any other team in the Premier League this season, and Nicolas Jackson isn’t too far away from Erling Haaland either.
Erling Haaland this season | Nicolas Jackson this season | |
Games | 16 | 15 |
Goals | 13 | 9 |
Goals in last 10 games | 3 | 5 |
Jackson’s nine goals this season is a very respectable tally, and that’s wi🧸thout taking penalties too.
If Jackson were on spot kick duties for the Blues, he would pote🌜ntially be just one goal behind the £51m Man City star in the league this season as Chelsea have been given three penalties this term already.
Whether or not Chelsea can win the league remains 🤡to be seen, but if they do fall short in the title race, it’s not bec𓄧ause of their lack of goalscoring ability.
Chelsea are the most potent attacking team in the league, and that could well carry𝓰 them to the title.
