Chelsea's top scorer in the league last season, Mason Mount, had just 11 goals. It was enough to scrape by in third spot but nowhere near the levels of Manchester City and Liverpool who both scored 20 times more than Thomas Tuchel's Blues.
Surprisingly, Fulham's own top-scorer last term got nearly four times the amount of Mount, with Aleksandar Mitrovic bagging a staggering 43 Championship goals in 44 games, with seven assists as a nice addition. Albeit in the league below, his season was truly astonishing.
It was evidence for many that the 28-year-old had finally matured into the player he had always promised to become. With interest in Mitrovic going back to his Anderlecht days, Chelsea have liked the striker but seemed to have been proven right in leaving him alone after a return of 14 goals in 64 games before this season.
