Former Chelsea defender, David Luiz, has praised attacking midfielder Cole Palmer for his outstanding performances since joining the club. Luiz, who was part of Chelsea’s 2012 and 2017 Champions League-winning teams, described Palmer as a world-class player with exceptional intelligence.

Palmer, who made the move to Chelsea from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, has quickly become a key player for the Blues. His first season was impressive, earning him the PFA Fans’ Player of the Year and Premier League Young Player of the Year awards.

The 22-year-old continues to shine this season, with 14 goals and 6 assists under his belt for manager Enzo Maresca’s side.

Luiz reflected on Palmer’s decision to leave Manchester City, stating, “Cole, like Eden [Hazard], is on another level, he’s a world-class player. He made a tough decision to leave City, but it was the right one. Now everyone can see the incredible talent he has.”

The Brazilian also praised Palmer’s intelligence on the pitch, saying, “He’s an intelligent player, and intelligent players are always hard to defend. He would have fit right into my Chelsea teams from 2012 and 2017. For world-class players, there’s always room.”

Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.

He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
