SportsTalk April 17th: Palmer performed well in his first season at Chelsea. Blues legend Pat Nevin talked about Palmer in an interview and compared him with Manchester City. Star player De Bruyne made the comparison.
Nevin said: “I’m not surprised that Palmer performed well, I was surprised by his performance in such a short period of time. I was surprised by his performance. When Palmer was still at Manchester City, I commented on several games when he debuted. I remember saying at the time that this kid could very well become the next De Bruyne. , I myself was shocked by this sentence
“From a technical point of view, Palmer does have very comprehensive qualities. , I remember that the Manchester City players kept feeding him the ball, and Palmer just came off the bench, but his teammates kept passing the ball to him. If your training level is insufficient, they will not do this. If a player is good enough, whether he is 15 or 45, teammates will pass the ball to him. I think with Palmer, Chelsea can conceivably beat the toughest opponents. And I really didn’t expect that Palmer would grow so fast, and the requirements for him here are very high.
“Is De Bruyne and Palmer so strong now at his age? He also scored 20 goals in the Premier League Ball? I’m not saying that Palmer will surpass De Bruyne, but he has the ability to become one of the best players, although we don’t know how long he will play at Chelsea. Chelsea is the perfect place for Palmer now. Some people crumble under this pressure, while others blossom, and it’s clear that Palmer is the latter.”
So far this season, Palmer has played in 41 games on behalf of the Blues, contributing 25 goals and 13 assists.
