'The way he is going': Jaap Stam makes big claim about Chelsea star Cole Palmer

The Cole Palmer hype train is showing no signs of slowing down during what’s turning out to be a superb individual season from the Chelsea star.

In his first season with Chelsea last year, Cole Palmer stunned everybody with so many top-class performances. Many people questioned if the 22-year-old could back it up again in his second campaign with the Blues, though.

So far this season, Palmer has scored 11 goals and created six assists in 16 Premier League appearances.

The left-footed attacker is starring in the No.10 position for a side that has emerged as unlikely title challengers.

Enzo Fernandez says Chelsea teammate Palmer has “incredible quality” after playing alongside him for the last one and a half seasons.

Jaap Stam says Cole Palmer could be worth £200m one day

Former Manchester United star Jaap Stam has made the big claim that Chelsea’s Palmer could be worth over £200m in the future. Interestingly, he’s described him as the Premier League’s most influential individual as well.

Stam told SportsLens: “Cole Palmer is very impressive… He is calm on the ball and creative but still a huge goal threat, he is using his strengths to help their other players and for me, definitely the most influential player at this moment in the Premier League.”

Stam was then asked if Palmer could join Manchester United one day. He answered: “Seeing the potential of Cole Palmer and him being just next door, you do wonder how Manchester United missed out on him, or maybe they did try and couldn’t get a deal over the line. It would still be great to see him at Manchester United and being a fan of the club he’d probably like that to happen as well.

“However, in his current form there might not be any clubs who can afford him. He might one day be worth £200million the way he is going.”

Palmer is ‘very unlikely’ to leave Chelsea before supporters start getting too worried. It’s huge for both the player and the club that his current contract at Stamford Bridge doesn’t expire until 2033.

Enzo Maresca agrees Chelsea’s Palmer may be the Premier League’s best player. Let’s see if he can produce some more magic on Sunday afternoon for the league trip to Everton, where a win will temporarily lift the Blues to the top of the division.

Chelsea hit the jackpot

Chelsea’s £40m transfer to sign Palmer from Manchester City in the summer of 2023 is currently looking like one of their best ever signings.

Cole Palmer’s overall record as a Chelsea player

There has been some poor transfer moves under the Chelsea owners in the last couple of years, but they’ll argue the good is now starting to outweigh the bad.

Palmer is a breath of fresh air whenever he steps on the football pitch for the Blues. He produces the special bit of flair to combine with quality teammates such as Nicolas Jackson, Pedro Neto and Moises Caicedo.
