Former Chelsea FC midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has praised the performance of Cole Jermaine Palmer, saying Palmer “is as a full package.”
According to John Mikel Obi, Cole Palmer has been a revelation at Chelsea with his exceptional skills and consistent goal involvement. Coe Palmer currently has involved in 55 goals out in 58 games for Chelsea FC in all competitions since joining the Blues from Manchester City on 1st September, 2023 for an initial transfer fee of £40 million, potentially rising by £2.5 million in add-ons.
Palmer has involved in 51 goals in 52 English Premier League game, scoring 34 goals and providing 17 assists. In the English Football League (EFL) Cup, he has scored 2 goals with 2 assists in 6 games.
John Mikel Obi, in a recent interview disclosed that, Palmer continues to provide the magic for Chelsea. He said the Blues would probably be struggling in the league without the exceptional contribution from Cole Palmer.
Mikel Obi further disclosed that, he would have preferred Liverpool and Argentina midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister as Chelsea’s “number 10 if there was no Cole Palmer”
“If there was no Cole Palmer I’d have Mac Allister in that number 10, but he [Palmer] is a revelation. He keeps producing magic after magic. If he wasn’t in the team I wonder where we would be this season.”
“I don’t think we would be where we are – fourth. We forget about the work rate he has when we don’t have the ball, he chases players down, he’s the full package.” He said.
Palmer has been in excellent form for Chelsea, showcasing his skill, creativity, and ability to make things happen on the pitch. He is the first player to score 26 top-flight goals for Chelsea in a single calendar year since Bobby Tambling’s 27 in 1966.
