There are so many individuals at Chelsea right now that possess lightning speed.

The Chelsea squad is stacked with so much pace all over the pitch, which makes them a nightmare to play against.

In particular, the Blues forward line under Enzo Maresca attacks with pace, power and directness. In 22 games across all competitions this season, Chelsea have scored a huge tally of 57 goals in return.

Nicolas Jackson ranks who’s faster – Mykhailo Mudryk or Pedro Neto

During a segment on Sky Sports, Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson was asked to put himself, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Pedro Neto in order of fastest to slowest in a short race.

While Jackson agreed that he was ranking the quickest players at Stamford Bridge, he put Neto at the very top above Mudryk. Interestingly, the Blues striker thinks he’d beat both of them over a longer distance.

Noni Madueke agrees Chelsea winger Neto is “lightning”, especially when there’s open space to sprint into.

However, speaking last year, Ben Chilwell named Chelsea’s Mudryk as the fastest footballer he’s seen.

Chelsea pace can rip apart Tottenham

Chelsea’s next match is on Sunday afternoon with a short trip across London to face Tottenham in the Premier League. On paper, the Blues have the pace and movement to exploit Spurs’ high defensive line.

Chelsea winger Mudryk is unavailable versus Spurs because he’s still recovering from illness, which is frustrating because he could’ve had a field day.

Fortunately, the likes of Jackson and Neto have the tools to damage their London rivals this weekend. If the forwards make the correct runs, they’ll be found by wonderful technicians such as Enzo Fernandez or Cole Palmer.
