Chelsea's £250m attack misfires - but should they be worried?
Published: 8/17/2025

In Chelsea's Premier League opener, the team's six expensive attacking signings struggled to score against Crystal Palace, resulting in a goalless draw. Despite the attacking talents on display, including new signings like Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, Chelsea failed to find the back of the net. The Blues will need to improve creativity and finishing to mount a challenge against top teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City for the title. Chelsea's main goal is to secure a top-four finish and qualify for the Champions League.
