Cole Palmer, the £40 million summer acquisition of Chelsea, has been hailed by former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who also compared the Blues’ star player to James Maddison of Tottenham. Under Mauricio Pochettino, Palmer has been one of Chelsea’s most impressive players, topping the Premier League charts for goals scored and assists.
Despite being restricted until 2030, Palmer has emerged as Chelsea’s talisman and, less than a year into his career at Stamford Bridge, is reportedly already in line for a lucrative new contract.
Furthermore, according to Fabregas, he has demonstrated a dual threat akin to Maddison at Spurs, with the ability to both create and score goals seemingly at will. Former Arsenal and Chelsea star Fabregas believes that the Blues have a unique talent in their ranks. Chelsea will hope that Todd Boehly can continue to replicate the kind of successful transfer that they made with Palmer.
“It’s all about his personality,” said Fabregas on his BBC podcast when discussing Palmer. “I have to say that I was a little bit surprised by the move. I remember I was doing the Champions League final in the summer and he was just warming up there and being one of these young players coming up and enjoying the experience, not being selected or looked at to even feature in the game.
Then a major move to Chelsea all of a sudden. begins to perform with great quality and personality at an extremely high level. He creates things because he wants the ball. final pass and goals are scored. He has a Maddison for Tottenham kind of look. He is the kind of player who gives the team its energy.
There is a pause in him. In contemporary football, things can move too quickly at times. Gamers lack the awareness of when to pass or move. His striker is able to make their runs because he possesses a moment of quiet and poise. I cherish him. I’m incredibly impressed; I didn’t anticipate this kind of impact. He has been Chelsea’s Player of the Year.
The fact that the team intends to compensate Palmer for his contributions suggests that they agree with Fabregas’ evaluation.
Despite the fact that he still has more than six years left on his reportedly £80,000-per-week contract, which he can extend for an additional year, the club wants to give him a significant pay increase in recognition of his value to the team.
Palmer is the leading candidate to win the PFA Young Player of the Year and one of the now-Como assistant coach’s favourite talents to watch, with high praise coming from one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever creators in Fabregas.
