AI predicts Chelsea’s top scorers – #3 will leave you shocked

Artificial Intelligence has made a bold prediction – As it announces the Top 5 Scorers for Chelsea this season. There are a couple of surprises that many Stamford Bridge faithful would have never imagined.

There is no doubt that Chelsea will be approaching the 2025/26 season with extreme enthusiasm and jubilation following their Club World Cup victory in the United States of America.

We at Essential Football decided to ask Perplexity.AI to predict Chelsea’s top goal scorers in the upcoming season, and the results will leave you in absolute disarray. Here are AI’s predicted Chelsea top scorers –

Cole Palmer

AI has predicted that Cole Palmer will continue to hold the top scorer’s position in the Chelsea roster and will amass as many as 22 goals this season.

The prospect of watching Palmer blossom for another season will be exciting to several Chelsea supporters and will be instrumental in their push for the Premier League title this season.

Nicolas Jackson

The lanky forward has earned a reputation synonymous with consistency, being Chelsea’s 2nd top scorer across all competitions last season.

AI does not believe that Jackson will be let go easily and will continue to propel Chelsea’s attacking line in the correct direction – with 16 goals predicted from the attacker.

Joao Felix

Amongst the most strange inclusions by AI in this list – with the Portuguese forward only accounting for 1 Premier League goal last season.

However, for the 2025/26 season, Felix will be amongst the goals and will finish the season with as many as 12 goals. The upcoming season could see Felix feature more regularly with a more pivotal role in the attacking line.

Christopher Nkunku

Despite a lackluster debut season with Cheslea, AI is full or praises for the French striker and predicts that he will find himself on the scoresheet as many as 10 times this season significantly aiding the blues attack.

Last time around Nkunku only found himself in the scorers book on 3 occasions in the English top flight and has been linked with a move away from the club to Manchester United

Pedro Neto

AI Predicts Pedro Neto to be amongst the goals at least on 9 occasions in the upcoming season.

The Portuguese forward has constantly banged at the doors of Maresca with consistent effort and high work rate. Last season Neto scored 4 Premier League goals for the Blues.
