Cole Palmer says Chelsea team mate is one of the best finishers he’s ever seen play | OneFootball

Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer has admitted that his Blues team mater is one of the best finishers he’s ever seen play.

Palmer has been speaking off the back of Chelsea’s opening league game of the season against Crystal Palace, a game that they only managed to draw 0-0 in at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

Fans and players were left a bit disappointed with that result of course because they were all hungry for the win on the opening day. But Palace are a good side and it just wasn’t to be this time. Chelsea will go again this coming Friday night when they face another London side, West Ham, in their next Premier League match up.

Palmer is likely to be starting that game as well and there will be a debate over who might be starting up top with him.

Joao Pedro has been getting the nod over another new signing, Liam Delap, in the last two games played. But Delap may feel like he could get a start this Friday.

Cole Palmer already ‘loves’ playing with Joao Pedro.

‘He’s so good man,’ Palmer said of the Brazilian. ‘I love playing with him.

‘Even in training we just have good chemistry and know where each other are going to be.

‘It was amazing to see him come in. We knew he was a good player before but to see it in person was really good.’

Palmer also has high hopes for Liam Delap.

‘I just think he’s something different,’ Palmer said when asked what Delap would bring to the Blues.

‘He’s different to Joao and other strikers I’ve played with. He’s more old-school, he’s aggressive, he’ll run in behind, he’s just a handful for defenders and he’s one of the best finishes I’ve seen as well.

‘Hopefully those two together score some goals between them.’

Under more pressure now

Asked whether the team are under more pressure after winning the Club World Cup, he told NBC Sports: ‘Yeah, definitely because the way the club’s going, the direction, everyone’s excited.

‘We should be winning trophies.’
