Wesley Fofana shares which Chelsea player is actually a better finisher than Cole Palmer

Goals from Chelsea players in the last 12 months or so have come from one player more than anybody else.

Cole Palmer has been rivalled statistically in that time by only Erling Haaland, and has twice picked up the Premier League Player of the Month award.

Despite his equally impressive start to this season, a number of his teammates have stepped up alongside him with goals on a regular basis.

Noni Madueke sits on four league goals this season already, with his good form seeing him called up to the last two England sides.

Even those who are not starting very often for the Blues have chipped in. Christopher Nkunku has seven goals to his name for the club this season despite starting just one league game.

Fofana rates Christopher Nkunku’s finishing

He carried that form into the international break, finding the net in some style on his return to the France side this week.

Nkunku has been joined by Wesley Fofana on international duty this week, and the defender has been full of praise for his teammates ability to find the net.

He told Telefoot: “I rarely have seen someone who finishes so well in front of goal.”

Nkunku pushing for a Chelsea start

It is becoming harder to argue that Nkunku should not be starting for Chelsea at the moment, although Enzo Maresca has remained consistent with the side he has picked in the league.

Fofana is one of those who has started every game so far this season, however he will not feature against Liverpool due to already picking up a suspension.

He is likely to be replaced by Tosin Adarabioyo, who himself has been knocking on the door for more minutes this season since joining on a free.

Finding a place for Nkunku has been extremely difficult for Maresca though, with it seeming impossible at this stage for him to leave out Nicolas Jackson from his starting side.
