Chelsea striker Cole Palmer has been outstanding for the club since joining them from Manchester City.
He was top scorer last season and was also recently named England’s Men’s Player of the Year. Palmer has also been outstanding for Chelsea this season and former Manchester United star and popular pundit Roy Keane has now praised the England international for his mentality and quality on the pitch.
Keane went on to reveal that Palmer has the mentality and technical ability to become a top-flight player and very few players can do what he does on the pitch. The former Manchester United captain is often hard to please, but he singled out the Chelsea star as exciting and brilliant.
Keane also added that he would pay to see the England international.
“It’s exciting, it’s brilliant, it’s his mentality. He could walk into any locker room and hold his own,” Keane said (h/t Yahoo Sports).
“He does on the pitch what very few can do – you’d pay to go and see him. A brilliant player. I bet when he walked into the Chelsea dressing room (last year) he thought: ‘I’m the best player’ .But you can back it up.
“He’s street-wise, he’s had a brilliant coach, you can tell he knows the game inside out with his decision-making and finishing pass.”
Cole Palmer could be a world class player
The words of praise will no doubt be a huge confidence boost for the Chelsea striker, as he looks to continue his impressive start to life at Stamford Bridge. In the coming months he will look to establish himself as a key player for club and country.
Palmer has earned 10 England caps so far and will now look to establish himself as a mainstay in England’s attacking unit. There is no doubt that he has all the attributes to become a world-class player, and it remains to be seen whether he can reach his enormous potential in the coming seasons.
