Cole Palmer recently expressed his desire to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, and former footballer Emmanuel Petit has nothing but praise for the young Chelsea star. In fact, Petit believes that Palmer is currently the best player in the Premier League and has a strong chance of winning the Ballon d'Or in the future.
Palmer's exceptional performance on the field has been instrumental in Chelsea's unexpected title challenge this season. Last week, he played a crucial role in their remarkable comeback against Tottenham, scoring two second-half penalties, including an audacious Panenka. This took his goal tally for the season to an impressive 11.
According to Petit, Palmer has the ability to change the game at any moment. Every time he has the ball, there is a sense of anticipation that he could make a significant impact on the result. His teammates also seem to have complete faith in him, with their movement and positioning always revolving around him. Even their opponents seem to feel the pressure whenever Palmer is in possession.
Having played with some of the greatest players in the world, such as Rivaldo and Zidane, Petit has seen firsthand how players with exceptional abilities and personalities can make a difference on the field. He believes that Palmer possesses similar qualities and has the potential to reach the same level as these top players.
When asked about Palmer's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, Petit mentioned a few other potential contenders, such as Lamine Yamal, Vinicius, and Kylian Mbappe. However, he also stressed that Palmer must continue to showcase his talents consistently at the highest level, including in the Champions League and with the national team.
It is clear that Palmer's talent and impact on the pitch have not gone unnoticed, and he has a bright future ahead of him. Only time will tell if he can fulfill his dream of winning the Ballon d'Or, but one thing is for sure - he will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of football.
