“Palmer Has So Much Talent” – Leboeuf Shows Confidence in His Comeback
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has backed Cole Palmer to regain his form soon, despite the midfielder’s recent struggles.
Palmer has gone seven games without a goal contribution for Chelsea, including missing two big chances in their 4-0 win over Southampton. This dip comes after a strong start to the season, where he scored 14 goals and provided six assists in all competitions.
Speaking to ESPN FC, Leboeuf downplayed concerns over Palmer’s slump, pointing out that even football legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Mohamed Salah have faced similar rough patches.
“He’s been outstanding, scoring goal after goal and standing out as one of the best,” Leboeuf said. “It’s normal for a player to go through a phase where things don’t click. But he has the talent, and I believe he’ll bounce back. He was a bit unlucky—Ramsdale made a great save on one of his chances.
“Even the greatest players have gone through spells where scoring becomes difficult, but Palmer has all the tools to turn things around. He’ll find his rhythm again and deliver for Chelsea.”
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
