Ian Wright has sent a warning to Premier League clubs about Chelsea following their 3-0 win against West Ham United over the weekend.

Chelsea put in another good attacking performance, with it taking just 18 minutes for Nicolas Jackson to put Enzo Maresca‘s men 2-0 up.

In one of Chelsea’s other away games this season, a Premier League tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, the Blues managed to score six goals.

Before their latest win, Joe Cole gushed over Chelsea’s forward line, which now includes Jadon Sancho following his arrival from Manchester United in the summer.

Ian Wright in awe of Chelsea’s attack

Like Cole, Wright is also impressed with Chelsea’s attack right now, so much so that he thinks the Blues are going to “dismantle” teams this season.

In a video shared by the Premier League’s official website, the Arsenal legend said: “With [Cole] Palmer, with Jackson in that kind of form, with Sancho with this new lease of life, with [Moises] Caicedo, you know the way they’re playing, yes, they have to get some more familiarity in that back four, [but] they will dismantle teams.”

Chelsea’s next Premier League game is against Brighton & Hove Albion, which will see Caicedo, Marc Cucurella and Robert Sanchez take on their former club.

Caicedo could be key to Chelsea winning all three points. He has made a real impact this season so far, with John Obi Mikel describing Caicedo as “fantastic” following his display away at West Ham.

Chelsea will dismantle more teams this season

Chelsea just have so much talent in attack, and we are not just talking about players who are good at dribbling and can pull out tricks. The likes of Palmer and Jackson are delivering numbers.

Last season, the former came up with 40 goal contributions in 45 games for Chelsea. It is an insane return.

As for Jackson, the striker has started this campaign so well, already recording six goal contributions in his first five Premier League outings.

Alan Shearer thought Jackson’s finishing was “excellent” against West Ham over the weekend. If he keeps putting away his chances, then Chelsea really are going to roll over more teams this season.
