Cole Palmer joins elite group of Premier League players in telling stat after Crystal Palace heroics

Cole Palmer has six assists and 10 goals this season for Chelsea

Since joining Chelsea, Cole Palmer has been establishing new records left and right, and now his assists in the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace has seen him join the list of elite players who have been involved in 15+ Premier League goals this season.

Palmer just cannot stop scoring or assisting; the forward has been the signing of the season, and his performance further says that his signing was worth every penny.

Palmer already has 10 goals this campaign with six assists, which means he has been involved in 15+ goals and assists. For a 21-year-old to be this good is just astonishing, and he is bound to become one of the star players.

Chelsea has an exciting young player in their midst, one they should hopefully carefully nurture. Palmer has maintained his influence in every game under Pochettino and has proven his value to the team.

His signing has also added that threat in front of the net, which Chelsea lacked last season. Given that he is young and will not always be clinical, 10 goals in your first season is sensational, and if the forward continues in the same goal-scoring vein, he can tally 20 goals by the end of the season.

Will Palmer score 20 goals by the end of the season?

It is surely commendable to add one’s name to the list of players who have been part of better-organised teams. Palmer never had an opportunity to showcase his abilities at Manchester City and was not a reliable starter. He has been given the necessary shot at Chelsea, and he has performed admirably.

He can play wherever across the attacking line thanks to his adaptability on the pitch. It’s crazy that he’s already involved in 16 goals at the age of 21, and he has the potential to score many more and even reach the 20-goal milestone by the end of the season.

However, we must be realistic with Palmer considering his age and cut him some slack if his performances dip. Let’s wait and see how his career pans out.
