Why Cole PALMER is SO SPECIAL for Chelsea and England

Why Cole PALMER is SO SPECIAL for Chelsea
Chelsea have 99 failed transfers but Cole Palmer is not one of them! In just one season, Cole Palmer goes from being a Chelsea newcomer to a true team leader who has become the centerpiece of the London club's new football project! Chelsea supporters and legends pray for this guy, pundits give him the highest ratings, even Pep Guardiola realizes the terrible mistake he made!
Today we are going to tell you about Palmer's fascinating progress! Click on the like button, and we'll get started right away!
How Palmer dominates Premier League and Europe
Palmer had joined Chelsea on the last day of the summer transfer window and only a few could understand the risks the Blues were taking by paying €47 million for a 21-year-old player who had only three starts in the English Premier League! But unlike Mykhailo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling, or Christopher Nkunku, Cole found his place at Chelsea right away!
As of this moment, the Englishman has scored 14 goals and delivered 12 assists in 34 appearances in all competitions, which is more than in his entire spell at Manchester City! On top of that, not only Palmer's progress does not slow down at the end of the season, but quite the opposite - it seems like the Englishman is starting to shine now and gradually developing into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League! His transfer value has skyrocketed from 15 to 55 million euros in less than a year, so no wonder Chelsea recently wanted to reward him with a new contract, raising his weekly salary from 75 thousand pounds to 150 thousand. Well, not to mention the fact of Palmer's current deal already lasting for at least another six years!
Perhaps what fans love about Palmer is his ability to deliver where it matters most to Chelsea - in the Premier League. Cole is the only player to score AND assist in 5 separate Premier League games this season! He is miles ahead of everyone else in this regard, including Son, Ollie Watkins, Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland!
Thanks to his performance, Palmer has also been able to reach the global level. Among all the top 5 European leagues' players, no one under the age of 21 has as many goal + assist points as Cole! Even Jude Bellingham, one of the 2024 Ballon d'Or favorites, is no match for the Chelsea leader!
By the way, let's talk about Palmer's leadership next. This is where the most exciting part begins!
Palmer - Chelsea leader
With Mauricio Pochettino in charge, Chelsea are currently 11th in the Prem this season, so not much changes have been made since the Blues' previous lackluster campaign, which saw them finish twelfth in the standings. However, the quality of the London team's football has now improved significantly with president Todd Boehly no longer racing into the dressing room in the middle of games with his strange instructions. Now this team is no longer just a bunch of individuals who have no understanding on the pitch, but at least a team with a clear leader - Cole Palmer. Some might even say that Chelsea are too dependent on the guy and without him they wouldn't have shown any signs of life for the second season in a row, but does it matter now?
The 21-year-old midfielder has united his teammates and exudes confidence this young Chelsea squad so sorely lacks:
"I'm a confident player and I believe in myself. I decided to leave City as I thought I was ready to play football week in and week out. That's the reason I came to Chelsea. I wanted to showcase my ability week in week out like I said. Thankfully it's paid off," shares Palmer.
Cole is mentally stronger than many other footballers of his age, which can be proven by a pretty unique accomplishment he has achieved this season. Palmer has become the first Chelsea player aged 21, who has been directly involved in 19 goals in a single Premier League season! Moreover, the numbers were hit not only against mid-table teams. Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham, and Manchester United suffered from his goals. This guy was born for big games!
No wonder why fans put Palmer on the same level as their favorites! Someone says that "he is easily the best talent at this club since Eden Hazard". Others are happy to see Cole's transfer becoming Chelsea's long-awaited revenge for Kevin De Bruyne's departure to Manchester City! And the rest of us hope that Palmer will become the new Frank Lampard! However, we should be especially careful with the latter comparison - the Blues fans still remember how they got burned with Mount earlier... Speaking of Mason, how is he doing? Has Chelsea, having acquired Palmer, already felt his loss?
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino says that behind the scenes, Chelsea's staff applauds Palmer as much as the fans: "One staff member at the club said to me: 'he's from Manchester, but he looks Brazilian or Argentine!' He arrived and adapted very quickly.

Why calling Jackson a fail transfer is such a horrible take. prob think Doku to city was a hit

[@pubgsniperlord7055]

Ummm I admit he was wrong abt Jackson but doku is kinda of a hit so far for them ain't he??....I only watched 3 games with him at city so I cud be wrong

[@Andrewk858]

His willingness and calmness to create goal scoring chances for his teammates and himself is impressive.The next KDB for sure.

[@EstifMulugeta-ob4yt]

Cold palmer

[@tilewajohnson4427]

Only opp fans will say penalty goals don't count. In the words of Eden Hazard "go kick one n see".

[@leighwakeham3735]

I don't really understand why Denis Zakaria is being described as a failed transfer.

[@iamironman245]

waht do you mean revenge for kevin de bruyne 🤣🤣🤣. The coach and the fans were more than happy to see kevin go

[@tilewajohnson4427]

That's not accurate. See Jose's interview on the Obi One podcast. It's the total opposite.

[@OtungConfidence-gg3ul]

20 goals
