What happened. Shaun Wright-Phillips said his former club Chelsea currently have the best attacking trio in the Premier League. He pointed to Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro, who cost the club just over £219million in accumulated transfer fees.

• The front three have been breathtaking at times despite Chelsea's defensive and midfield issues.
• Wright-Phillips was speaking about his former club.
• The £219m figure covers the combined cost of the three attackers.

Chelsea's attack is drawing praise even as the team's defence and midfield struggle early in the season.
