Reece James’ bold assessment of Cole Palmer

James hailed Palmer speaking to Sky Sports after the g🌜ame and made a pretty b🙈old statement which even Palmer disagreed with.

“Cole is oneও of the best in the world, I think personally,” James .

“You 🌟know you’ve seen what he can do when he gets his chance.

“At City, he probably didn’t play as much as he wanted 🌃and he came ꦫhere and took the opportunity with both hands.”

Cole Palmer: “I wouldn’t go that far but🐟 obviously it’s nice to hear but you know I’m ღjust keeping my feet on the ground, taking it as it comes.

“It’s all new to me, my first season properly playing in the league but obviously to come to Chelsea and to come to🙈 a group of lads thaꦅt have welcomed me like this, it’s been a pleasure.”

Cole Palmer could be talismanic at the EUROs

James’ ‘one of the best in the world’ verdict might be a litt♊le premature but the way Palmer has performed this season, iℱt’s hard to disagree.

The 22-year-old is expected to make the En𒀰gland squad for the EUROs this summer and could become a tali🌜smanic figure.

Gareth Southgate just nee𓂃ds to find a way to fit him into the team, ideally🤡 in a central role as that’s where he’s flourished for Chelsea.
