Maresca calls Palmer “Premier League’s best” as star makes Chelsea top four case

Cole Palmer’s four-goal performance in Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Brighton has elevated the club’s hopes for a top-four Premier League finish.

At just 22, Palmer has emerged as Chelsea’s key player this season, dispelling doubts about his form after a slow start.

Manager Enzo Maresca, who called Palmer “the Premier League’s best,” shifted him to a central midfield role, which has paid off.

“I feel at my best now,” Palmer said, following his first-half haul that set a new Premier League record.

His transition to playing centrally has given him more influence, turning him into a critical playmaker for Chelsea.

Despite lingering concerns about the squad’s overall consistency, Palmer’s presence strengthens Chelsea’s case for a Champions League spot.

As he regains full fitness, the young star’s form is driving the team’s resurgence. Palmer’s contract runs until 2033, giving Chelsea a solid foundation moving forward.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are occupying the fourth position in the Premier League, with their next game against Tottenham Forrest.
