In a hard-fought triumph over Sheffield United on Saturday, Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, lauded the noteworthy performance of Cole Palmer, highlighting the young talent’s pivotal role in the Blues’ attack.
Palmer’s impressive display included a goal and an assist, with the former Manchester City player showcasing his abilities early in the second half by converting Raheem Sterling’s pass and later setting up Nicolas Jackson for Chelsea’s second goal.
Since joining Chelsea from the 2022-23 Treble winners in the summer, the 21-year-old has directly contributed to 13 goals in his 19 appearances, establishing himself as a vital asset for Pochettino’s squad.
Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Pochettino emphasized Palmer’s multifaceted contributions, stating, “For me he’s a playmaker – a player who can link the team. He also has the capacity to score goals and give assists. The contribution of Cole Palmer from day one has been massive.”
