Cole Palmer set a new record for a Chelsea player when he provided an assist in the Blues’ 2-2 draw with Sheffield United,according to Skokie.
The former Manchester City player became the first Chelsea player to score 25 or more goals in a Premier League season since Eden Hazard, 31, in 2018/19.
The 21-year-old has become Chelsea’s most influential player since joining the club.
You wonder who the last Chelsea player was to have such an impact on a match, and it was undoubtedly Hazard.
Since his departure, the Blues have been searching for a player as impactful as Hazard and it appears they have found it in Palmer.
Palmer is the top scorer in the Premier League this season with 16 goals, three points behind league leader Erling Haaland.
Palmer has remained Chelsea’s X-factor throughout a disastrous season for the team and is currently proving to be Chelsea’s most important player.
He’s having one of his best seasons individually and it’s incredible to see how much he’s changed the trajectory of the game.
The Blues have signed a generational talent, but what’s even more interesting is that he’s only 21 years old and has shown a maturity in his game
that few young players in modern football have. He has the ability to change the course of a match by himself.
He became the first Blues player since Hazard to play with more than 25 G/A this season,
which speaks volumes about his performance and how good he is. Furthermore, the 2018-19 season was
the last time a player had this many goals and assists. Since then, no player has been as influential as Hazard.
It’s been almost six years and we know how good Hazard was at Chelsea, but now we have a player of his caliber and
if he continues to score goals in the remaining games, here we are. It will cause ripples. season.
then we can also expect him to break Hazard’s record.
