It’s cold in London, Chelsea FC fans know all too well, as their team’s star player Cole Palmer reminds them every time he scores a goal, and at the start of the season, he’s already done so six times, a figure that is set to rise until the end of the season and could break Premier League records.
Cole Palmer, a top player:
The 22-year-old midfielder is performing exceptionally well. In addition to the six goals, he has four assists, numbers that take him to second place in both the ranking of top scorers of the season and in the top assists.
This is nothing new for the England international, as last season he remained in the same position in both rankings until the end of the season, with 22 goals and 11 assists, behind only cyborg Haaland (27 goals) and last season’s breakout player Ollie Watkins (13 assists).
His ability to unbalance opposing defences and his vision have been key to Chelsea’s success under Enzo Maresca. The Italian coach is getting the most out of Palmer and his team-mates, lifting the team to fourth place.
Everything points to this season 2024/2025 being the year of the English player’s consecration, his play in the last few games is proof of it. In fact, a few days ago, he put in a historic performance in the league match against Brighton at Stamford Bridge. In the first 45 minutes of the game, Palmer scored a whopping four goals, a record-breaking poker as the ‘Blue’ midfielder became the first player in Premier League history to achieve this feat.
Comparisons with legends:
Palmer’s performances haven’t gone unnoticed, and already from different English media, he is being compared to some of Chelsea’s legends. With his poker, he equalled historical records of iconic players such as Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard. These comparisons not only demonstrate his talent, but also his potential to become a key figure in the club’s history.
As the season progresses, expectations for Palmer continue to grow. His ability to influence games and his consistency of performance suggest he is destined for great things. Chelsea supporters and football fans in general will be keeping a close eye on his progress, hoping he continues to shine and leave all fans in awe.
