Cole Palmer reveals Marc Cucurella connection as Chelsea thrash Everton
Cole Palmer commented on a Marc Cucurella post on Instagram where the fullback shared a photo of him shaking hands with the former Manchester City forward after the Chelsea star produced four goals in a 6-0 dismantling against Everton.
Palmer was incredible against Everton, and his four goals now take him to 20 goals, tying with Erling Haaland as the top scorer in the Premier League this season. The forward netted a hat-trick in 29 minutes and later added his 20th goal of the season in the second half.
Palmer’s journey from limited minutes in his previous club to becoming a prolific goal scorer at Chelsea is truly inspiring. Manchester City must certainly be kicking themselves for selling him for what is appearing to be a bargain price last summer.
Palmer’s outstanding performances for Chelsea this season have been nothing short of remarkable, setting records and making significant contributions to the team’s success. His impressive statistics speak volumes about his impact on the pitch, with nine assists in 28 league games highlighting his creative prowess and ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
With a chance conversion rate of 33% and a high shot accuracy of 67%, Palmer’s efficiency in front of goal is on par with some of the league’s top forwards, underlining his clinical finishing ability and composure under pressure. His consistency and reliability have been instrumental in Chelsea’s attacking play throughout the season.
Despite his relatively low-profile arrival at Chelsea for a £42 million fee last summer, Palmer has proven to be a shrewd investment for the club. His unexpected emergence as a key player highlights Chelsea’s astute scouting and recruitment efforts, as well as Palmer’s own talent and determination to succeed at the highest level.
Palmer’s impact on Chelsea’s roster has indeed been invaluable, and his teammates have expressed their appreciation for his contributions. The camaraderie within the team is evident, as seen in Cucurella’s recent Instagram post featuring a photo with Palmer, showcasing admiration for the quality Palmer brings to the team.

Palmer’s exceptional qualities shine through, especially considering the challenges posed by playing for a Chelsea team that may be perceived as disorganized at times. Despite this, he has managed to thrive and make a significant impact, showcasing his talent and resilience on the pitch.
Currently competing with the likes of Erling Haaland, one of the top scorers in Europe, for the Golden Boot, Palmer’s ability to consistently find the back of the net is a testament to his goal-scoring prowess and determination. If he continues to deliver strong performances, propel Chelsea to new heights, and help secure a position in a European tournament, it could indeed mark one of the best seasons of his career.
