While statistics reveаl that the former Manchester City player is quickly becoming Chelsea’s key man, Mauricio Pochettino praises the “amazing” Cole Palmer.
The Blues advanced to the Carabao Cup final thanks to the attacking midfielder’s two goals in Tuesday’s 6-1 victory over Middlesbrough.
For the west Londoners this season, he has scored 11 goals and added 7 assists in all competitions.
Many questioned his decision to join Chelsea from Manchester City in a £40 million transfer this summer.
Still, the 21-year-old has proven his naysayers wrong by outscoring every Chelsea player from last season thus far.
Palmer is second only to Ollie Watkins [22] in the Premier League in terms of goal contributions from English players this season.
Pochettino was ecstatic when praising the England youth international Palmer, who statistics reveаl is shaping up to be a cult icon and probably Chelsea’s key man.
“He is a player with an amazing talent,” Pochettino remarked after the match when asked about the player.
This gamer has a great grasp of the game. He possesses the ability to perceive things from a different angle and understand the game from a different perspective.
There are three positions he can play in: right back, striker, or on the right wing.In a game like this, he can easily figure out where he can contribute most to the team, so we do our best to let him roam.
The portion where he presses and then uses his intuition to grab the ball back is the best part, in my opinion. Despite his youth, he is performing admirably for our team.
Left back for Chelsea “He is top,” Ben Chilwell said of the child. No matter where he is, he never loses his chill.
When he scores, he does it with complete carelessness. He is unconcerned.
It is critical that he keeps this up since he is a great player and top guy.
We couldn’t be without him; he’s been outstanding this season. With any luck, he’ll be able to lend us a hand once again for Friday’s huge game.
When Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to the capital on Friday night for the FA Cup fourth round, Palmer will be hoping to create another great impression.
