🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cole Palmer is shining at Chelsea this season

Cole Palmer is shining at Chelsea this season.

Having seen little game time for Manchester City’s first team having come through their academy, his £40 million move to Chelsea in the summer might have raised some eyebrows, but it has worked out brilliantly for both him and the club.

Palmer has been the Blues’ best player in an otherwise disappointing season and has already racked up 20 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League. Clearly, his attacking output has been superb.

Palmer’s multi-dimensional threat has included passing towards goal, link-up play and shooting, but he could get better yet. His game is clearly suited to getting his teammates involved as well, so with better contributions from them, the young Englishman’s numbers have the potential to get even better.
