Right wing: Raheem Sterling (England)

The former Manchester City and Liverpool winger has finally found himself. The world class player has by far been the best player in the squad this season. He also tops a few charts in Europe with his mind-blowing stats and will now look to find that end product which ultimately wins points.

🚨 Raheem Sterling is at the top of the list for most touches inside the opposition box so far this season in Europe's top seven leagues.#CFC

Left wing: Ben Chilwell (England)

The Chels’ faithful have been requesting Pochettino to use Mudryk on the left wing and not throw the baby with the bath water by using Chilwell in such an advanced role. However the Gaffer seems convinced,

"“Ben (Chilwell) is a full-back, I know but he can help the team in a different position. I think in the last four games, Ben created more chances than any other player. In the national team last week, I think he played in a similar position.”"

Striker: Nicolas Jackson (Senegal)

With the chances he has had at his disposal, he definitely should’ve been competing with the top goal scorers of the league this season. However his potential is evident and with time as he settles in, the goals will follow.
