A Chelsea transfer flop is quietly getting back to his high standard

Chelsea have looked like a significantly better team through five matches in the Premier League under new coach Enzo Maresca, who has done an especially great job at cooking up a more incisive and efficient attack. Even Nicolas Jackson has been getting in on the act and proving he has a place in this deep Chelsea attacking rotation, scoring a brace with an assist in the Blues' dominant 3-0 win over West Ham. Chelsea appear to be legitimate Champions League contenders again, with Cole Palmer continuing to shine, Jackson joining him, Noni Madueke playing a key role off the right wing, and new additions like Jadon Sancho chipping in, too.
