Chelsea Defenders Have The Highest Goal Contribution In Their Position Across Europe.

One of the attributes of a modern defender is the ability to contribute not just defensively but also attacking wise.
Frank Lampard seems to have 4 defenders who can do the job at both ends of the pitch.
Recruited in the summer, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell has been one of the standout performers in Frank Lampard’s team this season.;
As much as they have been impressive carrying out their primary defensive duties, their contributions in front of goal just can’t be ignored.
In fact, Thiago Silva has scored more goals (2) than Arsenal’s Willian has had shots on target this season (1).
Kurt Zouma (4) and Reece James (1) have also contributed with goals for Chelsea in the EPL this current campaign.
Silva’s second Premier League goal of the season came against West Ham United when he leapt the highest to nod in from Mason Mount’s perfect delivery.
What’s more?
These goals contribution from Chelsea’s defenders are the highest across Europe in their position.
