Pat Nevin believes Chelsea star Cole Palmer is following in the footsteps of Kevin De Bruyne

Pat Nevin’s comparison of Cole Palmer to Kevin De Bruyne is high praise indeed, considering De Bruyne’s stature as one of the best midfielders in the world. Palmer’s performances have certainly caught the attention of fans and pundits alike, and his goal-scoring exploits this season have been particularly impressive.

If Palmer continues to develop and perform at his current level, there’s no doubt that he could become a key player for Chelsea in the future. Winning the Premier League Golden Boot would be a remarkable achievement for him, especially considering his age and relative lack of experience at the highest level.

The comparison to De Bruyne suggests that Palmer has the potential to become a dynamic and influential midfielder, capable of dictating games and contributing both defensively and offensively. If he can fulfil that potential, he could indeed become a pivotal figure for Chelsea in the years to come.

His performance has also earned him comparisons with Kevin de Bruyne this season, as former Manchester City reveals the 21-year-old is following in the footsteps of the former Chelsea player, speaking to Grosvenor Casinos via Football.London:

”I’m not surprised that Cole Palmer is this good; I’m just surprised he’s this good this quickly. When he was at Manchester City, I covered a few of his first games, and I remember almost shocking myself by saying that this guy could be the next Kevin De Bruyne.’’

Nevin’s comparison to De Bruyne, one of the most influential midfielders in the modern game, speaks volumes about Palmer’s potential. Such lofty praise underscores the level of confidence and belief in Palmer’s ability to make a significant impact at the highest level.

While comparisons to players like De Bruyne can be flattering, it’s important to recognize that Palmer is his own player with his own unique qualities and potential. He will need time, patience, and the right guidance to continue his development and reach his full potential.

At this stage in his career, Palmer should focus on continuing to improve, learn, and contribute to the team in whatever way he can. With the right support and opportunities, he has the talent to make a significant impact for Chelsea in the future.

With the right environment and opportunities, Palmer has the potential to carve out a successful career in football. It will be exciting to see how he progresses and what he achieves in the years to come.
