Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet has described Cole Palmer as a phenomenal player.
He made this known in an interview with TribalFootball, where he praised the England international’s contributions to the success of the team last season.
Regarding concerns that Chelsea could find themselves in trouble if Cole Palmer finds himself marked out of games this season, Poyet is confident the England midfielder will learn how to handle the extra attention.
“It’s very difficult for a manager to alleviate the pressure on an individual player because the reason Chelsea became over-reliant on Cole Palmer is that he’s an extremely creative player.

“Opponents will focus much more on Palmer now than they did a year ago, which provides opportunities for other players in the team to be impactful as they have more space with Cole attracting more attention.
“However, Cole is a phenomenal player, and he will find a way to deal with the extra attention he is getting from opposing players now. He will learn how to adapt and link up with his teammates in different ways to contribute to Chelsea winning games.
“They have a squad full of great players, and if everyone keeps performing, Chelsea will feel much more well-rounded.”
