Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has picked Cole Palmer as the club’s Player of the Season.
Fabregas said this after Palmer led Chelsea to beat Manchester United 4-3 in the Premier League on Thursday at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on his BBC podcast, the Spaniard said: “Then all of a sudden, [he gets] a big move to Chelsea, [and] starts performing at the very, very high level with a lot of quality and personality.
“He wants the ball and he makes things happen. [He has the] final pass and [also] scores goals. He looks a bit like Maddison for Tottenham. He’s that type of player that makes the team tick.”
Fabregas added: “I love him. I have been very, very impressed and I didn’t expect this type of impact. He’s been the Player of the Year for Chelsea.”
