“Long may it continue” – Cole Palmer reveals Chelsea team-mate he loves playing with | OneFootball

Cole Palmer revealed he “loves” playing with Joao Pedro after Chelsea’s 3-1 win away at Wolves on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues made it four league wins a row with victory against Wolves, as they remain a point behind fourth placed Manchester United.

Cole Palmer returned to form with a first half hat-trick, and he now has the most hat-tricks for a Chelsea player in Premier League history.

Cole Palmer on playing with Joao Pedro

Having been on the bench against Arsenal in midweek, Palmer was restored to the team, and lined up on the right hand side.

Whilst he stole the headlines with the goals, Pedro also put in a great performance as he won both penalties, and impressed with his all round play, especially when it came to holding the ball up.

We saw how effective the Palmer and Pedro link up was at the Club World Cup, but we’ve not been able to see it often this season.

However, speaking after the game, Palmer expressed how much he actually enjoys playing with the Brazil international.

“I love playing with Joao Pedro,” he told Chelsea’s website.

“We’re good friends off the pitch, so it helps. Long may it continue.”

Up next for Palmer and Pedro is a game against Leeds at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night as Chelsea look to make it five league wins in a row.

The 24-year-old has scored 12 goals and registered five assists in 34 appearances in all competitions, and has very much established himself as Chelsea’s first choice number nine.

Pedro has impressed with both his hold up and link up play, whilst he’s also shown he’s got an eye for goal, and is a good finisher.
