No one really knew much about him when he came from Man City, so it was a free hit for him. But in the last seven months, he's now the big boy. The name of the game for opposition is to stop Cole Palmer. </p><p>"Teams are trying to stop him - and they can't do it. That shows you how good he is. He's too intelligent. He's always got space. Everybody needs an X-factor to win a Premier League title and Chelsea have it with him."</p>
