Cole Palmer has been making waves since his £40 million move to Chelsea from Manchester City in September. The 21-year-old midfielder has managed to fit in seamlessly despite the upheaval at the club and has been an ever-present in the starting XI, scoring three Premier League goals.
Not only has he been impressive, but some have even compared his style of play to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp and former Chelsea and Manchester United favourite Juan Mata. When asked about this, Mauricio Pochettino had another comparison in mind - Angel Di Maria, the Argentinian hero who played a key role in his country's World Cup win in Qatar.
Questions have been raised as to why Manchester City let their academy product go, but Pochettino was not willing to speculate. He said, "It's always difficult to judge these kinds of decisions. Maybe he fits well for Chelsea. Mateo Kovacic left Chelsea for City and I don't know what happened."
This Sunday, Palmer will have plenty of attention on him when Chelsea go up against his former team. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, has wished the young player well ahead of the clash, saying that he is glad to see him getting the minutes he was looking for when leaving the Etihad.
It's clear that Cole Palmer is making a lasting impression on the Premier League, and he is sure to have a bright future ahead of him.
