Posted by Following Sunday’s dominant 5-0 victory against West Ham United in the Premier League match, respected Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle gushed about Cole Palmer.
Just fifteen minutes into the match, Palmer—who has adjusted to life at Stamford Bridge with ease—scored his twenty-first league goal of the season.
The growing playmaker’s importance to Chelsea’s offensive strength was further highlighted by his nine key assists.
“He is a super player, he really is,” Hoddle said in an interview with Premier League Productions, unable to conceal his awe at Palmer’s incredible impact on the field.
“Chelsea have utterly dominated, not even making an effort.”
With the following criticism of Palmer’s play: “If you leave this lad (Palmer) unmarked in such a position, he will punish you” (Hoddle, analyzing Palmer’s performance).
“Check out the defenders!” He continued by saying that Alvarez should be following Palmer instead of being concerned with Marc Cucurella’s transition into midfield.
