This Premier League season has been nothing short of thrilling, and one player who has stood out among the rest is Cole Palmer. His talent and skill on the field have been undeniable, making him one of the best in the league. However, not everyone seems to be giving him the recognition he deserves.
In a recent interview, former Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit shared his thoughts on the upcoming match between Arsenal and Chelsea. He also took the opportunity to name the one Chelsea player he believes would make a great addition to the Arsenal team. While many would expect him to choose Palmer, Petit surprised everyone by choosing midfielder Moises Caicedo instead.
Despite their recent struggles, the Gunners are determined to turn things around as they prepare to face their London rivals. However, their hopes took a hit after a disappointing loss to Inter Milan, where they were defeated by a controversial penalty. This only adds to their already poor away form, having failed to score in their previous matches against Newcastle and Bournemouth. While Palmer's addition to the team would bring in some much-needed firepower, Petit believes Caicedo's presence in the midfield would have a bigger impact.
After a slow start, Caicedo has been proving his worth under the guidance of Enzo Maresca. Petit even went as far as to say that he would be his top choice to join the Arsenal team, even over players like Palmer. It's worth noting that Arsenal had tried to sign Caicedo two years ago, but ultimately went for Declan Rice instead.
Speaking of Rice, who has been struggling this season and is currently dealing with a toe injury, Petit believes his lackluster performances are a result of playing too many games in the past 12 months. He also pointed out that the absence of Martin Odegaard may have played a role in this, but ultimately, big teams should be able to cope without key players. This is where rotation becomes crucial, especially with the new format of the Champions League.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if Petit's predictions hold true and if Caicedo's impact on the field will prove to be more significant than Palmer's. One thing is for sure, though, the match between Arsenal and Chelsea is bound to be a thrilling one, and fans can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
