Recently, Alejandro Garnacho’s brother Roberto made a massive statement about Cole Palmer, where he said that the Englishman won’t score 10 non-penalty goals. This statement has backfired on him because Palmer has already scored five non-penalty goals. Among them, he scored three goals in a single match.
When he made this comment, Chelsea fans also gave a reply to that tweet by saying that Palmer already scored 12 non-penalty goals in last season. It indicates that he might even score more non-penalty goals this time. According to football.london, another Chelsea fan commented on this tweet by saying, “Obviously he would; he is a world-class player.“
So far, the young English midfielder has proven every doubter wrong with his mesmerizing goals and decision-making ability. There is no doubt that he is going to be a massive player for Chelsea. On the other hand, these types of critiques have helped him reach such great heights.
Chelsea star boy Cole Palmer
In the footballing community, this player needs no description. He has already shown what he can do with and without the ball. In the last season, he bagged 22 goals and 11 assists out of 33 English Premier League matches. That record made him the second-top scorer in the league. He single-handedly won games for a struggling team like Chelsea.
In the previous transfer window, Manchester City sold him for just £45m. Now everyone is saying that it was an absolute bargain for Chelsea. Later, Mauricio Pochettino has helped him to thrive at Chelsea. He built an entire attacking system around Cole Palmer, where the former Manchester City boy was the main focal point.
The 22-year-old boy has impressed all the Chelsea fans. The fans are extremely excited about Cole Palmer. When Chelsea needed goals, he was the one who provided more than a dozen of goals.
He was the savior for Chelsea in crucial matches such as a 3-2 win over Manchester United and a 4-4 draw over Manchester City. These performances didn’t go unnoticed, as England manager Gareth Southgate has included the talented lad in his 2024 Euro team. There is no doubt about his talent because he shined at the Euro.
In the entire tournament, Southgate gave him little opportunity, but he took that with both hands. In the final of Euro 2024, he came on from the bench and scored the equalizer against Spain. This proves his ability.
The 22-year-old Chelsea attacker is a versatile player. He can play both in right-wing and attacking midfield positions. With his sharp left foot, he can cut inside and score lots of goals. In terms of creativity, he is the man Chelsea can depend on for a long time.
Who would have thought that the 22-year-old Manchester City outcast would lift up a struggling team like Chelsea. For a midfielder, scoring 20 plus goals in a single season is not a matter of joke. Generally, top scorers come from those teams that are performing well as an overall team. But it is really a difficult task to thrive in a struggling team where the morale is down.
Palmer in this season
So far, Cole Palmer has maintained his reputation for scoring goals and providing assists. Pundits are saying that he might perform better than the previous season because he is surrounded with some world-class players, which include Jadon Sancho, Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku, and Joao Felix.
At this moment, there is a steep competition for every single position at Chelsea. That is why everyone is performing well, or else they can be replaced with other players. This change was necessary for the Blues because they wanted to achieve a winning mentality. This competition has certainly helped them to achieve that.
