'Cole Palmer is the best player in the Premier League!' - Blues playmaker hailed after 'pass of the decade' against Newcastle made him division's top star

Premier League

Newcastle

West Ham

<p>Palmer dazzled in his debut season at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-seal-cole-palmer-transfer-from-manchester-city/blt5e4ae0993723f3cd" target="_blank">Chelsea after moving from Manchester City</a> and was named the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cole-palmer-men-pfa-young-player-year-award-chelsea-england-bukayo-saka-kobbie-mainoo/bltd6073ea5604d2114" target="_blank">Men's PFA Young Player of the Year</a> and also bagged the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cole-palmer-premier-league-young-player-of-the-season-chelsea/blt4597298345c786bc" target="_blank">Premier League Young Player of the Season award</a>. The England star has picked up where he left off in the current campaign, bagging seven goals and five assists from just nine Premier League appearances for Enzo Maresca's side.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Palmer's latest goal for Chelsea was the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-newcastle-cole-palmer-nicolas-jackson/blt66a3e98aabd899cc" target="_blank">winner in a 2-1 Premier League victory over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge</a>. Yet he was also involved in his team's opening goal scored by Nicolas Jackson. Former striker and television pundit McCoist has admitted he was left stunned by Palmer's vision in the build-up to the goal and feels that he has a claim to be the best player in the Premier League currently.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>McCoist told <a href="https://www.talksportbet.com/en-gb/sports" target="_blank"><em>talkSPORT BET</em></a>: "There’s a debate to be had that Cole Palmer is the best player in the Premier League. Some people will say that he is and I’d have to agree with them! He produced the pass of the decade against Newcastle for Nicolas Jackson’s goal. He turns, plays the ball inside Tino Livramento, Jackson finishes it off, and before the ball hits the back of the net my son calls me and I just said immediately to him: ‘That’s the pass of the decade’.”</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Chelsea's co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have also been full of praise for Palmer recently, backing the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cole-palmer-tipped-become-ballon-d-or-winner-chelsea-co-directors-explain-how-lured-forward-from-man-city/bltde805ccdd7952952#csb139adda8a17991f" target="_blank">England star to be a future Ballon d'Or winner</a>. In the meantime, the Blues will look to Palmer for inspiration once more on Sunday when they face Manchester United at Old Trafford.</p>
