Chelsea is looking to promote Modric, who is the “next England star”

Chelsea He scored the third highest number of goals in Premier League This season, only leaders Liverpool and Tottenham have scored more goals. The Blues scored 39 goals in 20 matches played, An average of 15.8 shots per game (4th highest shots made per match on average in the division).

However, much of the offensive burden fell on Cole Palmer and Nicholas Jackson (who was hot for a few months). Palmer has He scored 13 goals and provided six assists So far this season, while Jackson He scored nine and made three.

Enzo Maresca’s wingers are often needed to provide a goal threat, especially in games where teams are looking to pack the penalty area and defend central areas.

However, only Madueke has scored more than three Premier League goals from the wing Five goals in 18 matches.

As a result, could another attacking player arrive in the January transfer window?

Chelsea looks at the English winger

according to Reports from Fabrizio RomanoBorussia Dortmund winger Jimmy Pineau-Gittins is being closely monitored by Chelsea. As well as the Blues monitoring the 20-year-old, Liverpool are also said to be looking at him, along with other top Premier League clubs.

Romano states that a summer move is most likely for the highly-rated youngster, but with clubs already starting to rotate like the Sharks, a move in January could be possible in order to get ahead of the competition who will certainly be there for his signature in the summer.

At Bayno-Gettins He has participated in 23 matches so far this season with DortmundHe scored nine goals and provided five assists for a total of 1,519 minutes.

How Bynoe-Gittens compares to Mudryk

With Mykhailo Modric currently suspended and his Chelsea career not going the way planned, it may finally be time for the Blues to replace him with someone like Bynoe-Gittens, who has been labeled as a ‘England’s next star“Through one of the German ports.

Since joining the club Modric participated in 73 matchesHe scored ten goals and provided nine assists in 3,613 minutes of play. Quite simply, he wasn’t great and Gittens could be a seismic upgrade.

You can immediately see when comparing Mudryk and Bynoe-Gittens, the extra threat the Englishman provides, with a higher shot volume (2.38 compared to 1.75), more goals per 90 (0.54 compared to 0.32) and a higher XG (0.22 compared to 0.19).

Expected Goals (xG) is a metric designed to measure the likelihood that a shot will result in a goal.

Alongside this, you still get the progressive carry quality, ability for successful passes/1v1 and creative passing (higher progressive passes but lower basic passes). This profile would be great for Chelsea, especially when you consider what Jadon Sancho offers Marisca as a different option on the left as well.

It is clear that another striker would be welcomed at Stamford Bridge, one who can help the likes of Palmer provide threat and output in those attacking areas, helping to break up those ‘low blocks’ that Chelsea have suffered from in recent weeks. Bynoe-Gittens can be just like that, whether it’s January or summer.
