Chelsea boss makes stunning claim about £45m signing that could save club millions in future

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed fresh signing Cole Palmer has added flew and linked up play well since joining on transfer deadline from Manchester City.

The 21-year-old started his first game for the club against Brighton and Hove Albion in the League Cup and retained his spot in the wins against Fulham and Burnley in the Premier League.

He's been used at the heart of midfield but also has played wide with his versatility a key gain for Chelsea especially at a time they were looking lost at the final third.

Colmer has bagged a goal and made two assists but it is his overall play that has been incredibly brilliant leading to praise from manager Pochettino who admitted he's been special in his first few weeks at the club.

The Chelsea boss told the club's website: "Cole Palmer is a good link player and links with all his teammates. We are giving him a starting position on the right to play between the lines because he is ready to be unpredictable.

“Football is a game where you need to be unpredictable and he has the capacity to do this.”

Chelsea have invested more than £1billion in the squad, they've reduced the general age in the team and could afford to finish 12th while believing that the new players will be ready to take on the world and return the club to winning big trophies and dominating teams on home soil.
