“For me” – Harry Kane reveals what Cole Palmer must do to become world class | OneFootball

Harry Kane believes Cole Palmer is a great player and is on his way to becoming world class with the pair set to meet in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

Chelsea are back in Europe’s premier club competition for the first time in two years, and couldn’t face a much tougher task in their opening game.

Bayern will be one of the favourites to win the competition, and it will be a great test to see how far this Chelsea team have come.

Harry Kane praises Cole Palmer

Enzo Maresca made several changes against Brentford as the Blues were held to a 2-2 draw, but he defended his rotation policy in the build-up to the game.

That would mean a return to the starting line-up for Palmer, who’s struggled with a groin issue at the start of the season.

Palmer scored against Brentford on his return to action after missing the wins against Fulham and West Ham, and it will be interesting to see whether he can replicate his form in the Champions League.

There will be a number of top class players on show on Wednesday night, including Kane, and the England captain was full of praise for Palmer.

“All I can say is he’s a great player,” he said as cited on X.com.

“I enjoy playing with Cole. Whenever you have a number ten who can find through balls, [make] good crosses, [have] good link-up play, drop deep and play longer balls, arrive in the box and score goals.

“I think he has all the attributes to be a world-class player.

“For me, world class is when you do it over a period of time, consistently over five, 10 years. For sure, he’s on that path.”

Chelsea face tough Bayern test

Chelsea will not only be coming up against Kane, but also the likes of Luis Diaz and Michael Olise, and the Bayern frontline have been in very good form during this early stage of the season.

The Blues will have to be at their best defensively and cut out the errors they made against Brentford if they are to stand a chance.

However, Bayern aren’t the strongest themselves at the back, and it’s likely the Blues will get opportunities, and they do have the quality to put them away.
