"Pat Nevin's assertion on Cole Palmer: He suggests that almost any team globally would be elated to acquire such a talent, deeming Palmer as a truly exceptional world-class player."
Cole Palmer Shines for Chelsea FC in 2025/26 Season
Cole Palmer, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder and winger for Chelsea FC, is making his mark on the global football stage. Known for his exceptional skills and impressive performances, Palmer has been hailed as a world-class player by many[1].
After graduating from Manchester City's academy, Palmer moved to Chelsea in 2023 for a £40 million transfer. His debut season with the Blues was nothing short of spectacular, earning him the PFA Fans' Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards[2].
In the 2025/26 season, Palmer continues to be a crucial part of Chelsea's plans under head coach Enzo Maresca. His contributions have been instrumental in Chelsea's successes in the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup, where he won man of the match in both finals and received the Golden Ball for being the tournament's best player[2].
With the transfer of new signings Estevao and Jamie Gittens, it is expected that Palmer will have even more support in delivering consistent performances[1]. The summer transfer activity is anticipated to further aid Palmer in his quest to maintain his world-class status[1].
Pat Nevin, a former Chelsea winger and currently ranked at no.23 in a list of Chelsea's best-ever signings, believes that Palmer has the potential to become one of the greatest players in the club's history[2]. However, Nevin also emphasizes that Palmer's performance needs to be consistent year in, year out to truly cement his place among the world-class players[1].
Despite a slightly less impressive performance in the 2024/25 season, Palmer's talent was still evident. This was particularly noticeable during the Euros, where he was on the bench, a decision that raised questions from Nevin during an interview with Compare.bet[4].
As Chelsea FC enters the 2025/26 Premier League season, they do so with optimism, aiming to win trophies with Palmer as one of their key players[1]. With his exceptional skills and the support of his teammates, Cole Palmer is poised to continue his rise as one of the world's top footballers.
