The Premier League has once again caught the attention of millions. Arguably the most exciting soccer scene in the world, EPL has now gotten into full flow. Manchester City has resumed from where they left off; at the top. They have started with five wins. Brighton has been a surprise with four wins and one loss. And so far, the field below the City looks wide open. However, Chelsea is far from being among the top teams.

It has begun with 2 draws, 2 losses, and just a win. This has led one of their superfans and an NBA two-way phenom to back them even more.

When will Chelsea’s troubles end?

Last season, the squad was 12th on the table. It landed just 11 wins, had a draw 11 times, but lost 16 times. This season too, they have had a similar start. They have trouble scoring a lot and that’s why they lose or have draws. Their dry spells found no amelioration last season and this season, it looks the same.

They have five goals in five games, three of those coming against a shoddy defense of newly promoted Luton Town. In fact, their only win has been against this bottom-ranked squad. A squad that doesn’t make it past the relegated teams many times. West Ham punctured Chelsea by two goals and exposed their frailties against higher-ranked squads.

Overall, Chelsea doesn’t look anywhere near a top team. They lost their fizz last season and a lack of dependable offensive balance is concerning. Therefore, one of the biggest fanboys of the team, Josh Hart, had to send a message.

The crestfallen fan urged the team to recover from a 0-1 loss against Nottingham Forest. He took to X and wished the team well before the game against Bournemouth.

Don’t know if he considers a 0-0 result as a way to “get back on track.

At any rate, he is an incredible Chelsea Fan.

Like many Chelsea diehards, Josh Hart has stuck with the team in their struggling period. However, he has to be richer than most of his fellow Chelsea fans. Recently, the Guard inked an impressive four-year $80 million deal with the New York Knicks. Including his current contract, he will earn up to $94 million by the end of 2028.

He is such a committed fan, that in August last year, he donated $2500 to help put up banners in Stamford Bridge, the home stadium. Fans got to put up the banners of their favorites, Reece James and Cesar Azpilicueta, because of this donation.
