EPL: He’s very special, I don’t know how to explain it – Cucurella hails Chelsea star

Chelsea full-back, Marc Cucurella, has given a glowing review to his teammate, Cole Palmer.

This is following England’s continued growth at a meteoric pace.

The 22-year-old England international left Manchester City for Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth an initial £40 million in the summer of 2023.

Palmer has arguably become Chelsea’s best player since signing for the Blues.

Palmer scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists in 33 Premier League games for Chelsea last season.

The England forward has already scored six goals and registered five assists in seven league matches in the current campaign.

In an interview with The Guardian, Cucurella acknowledged that the Englishman is a special player.

“If you see him not in his kit you would never in your life say he was a footballer, but then on the pitch, he shoots and it doesn’t seem like he is hitting it hard but he scores them all,” he said.

“He’s very different. I don’t know how to explain it: he’s special,” Cucurella said via the Chelsea Chronicle.

“If he carries on like this, he’ll be among the best. There’s not much strength in the hair, but if that’s his only problem, then he’s all right,” the left-back added.
