Right now, Chelsea probably have three of the best attacking players in the country.
There is no debating Cole Palmer’s status after his hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
Who is Chelsea’s most entertaining player to watch?🤩

Joao Pedro is also up there with his teammate at the minute, winning both of the penalties that Palmer converted at Molineux.
Finally, there is Enzo Fernandez, who is taking advantage of the freedom that he is getting on the pitch under Liam Rosenior.

Robert Sanchez convinced Cole Palmer is going to keep on improving
Fernandez has really stepped up for Chelsea this season in the absence of Palmer amid the attacking midfielder’s injuries. Unsurprisingly, though, it was the Englishman who was praised by Robert Sanchez and others following his hat-trick.
Sanchez has now warned the rest of the Premier League that Palmer is only going to improve while at Chelsea.
In a post-match interview, which Chelsea’s official club website has posted, the goalkeeper said: “He’s brilliant. He’s not even at 100 percent yet, he has just come back from injury, and still managed a hat-trick.
“We’re very happy. Everyone knows how good he is, so he needs to keep it up. He’s only going to get better.”
Twelve years ago, Eden Hazard scored his first hat-trick for Chelsea. Palmer is already on four, showing just what an incredible player he is.
The Englishman and Sanchez will now be hoping that they can beat Leeds United, who defeated them by three goals to one earlier in the season, on Tuesday.

Robert Sanchez also positive about Liam Rosenior
Following Chelsea’s victory over Wolves at Molineux, Sanchez also discussed Rosenior and the impact he is having at Stamford Bridge.
Sanchez is a fan of Rosenior’s football, saying as much when speaking about his new manager.
“He’s brilliant, you know,” the 28-year-old said. “His style of football, trying to dominate the ball, came with a positive attitude, positive energy and I think the boys embraced it and we’re enjoying it a lot.”

Sanchez was a mainstay under Enzo Maresca, and that is unlikely to change under the Italian’s successor.
With Mike Maignan signing a new contract at AC Milan, Sanchez could retain his No.1 spot next season. Do not be surprised to see both the Spaniard and Palmer in Rosenior’s starting XI during the 2026/27 campaign, helping the Blues to win games, as they have done this term.
