“Put him anywhere he will still shine” “A crazy footballer” – Noni Madueke makes honest admission on Chelsea star
Cole Palmer is a “pure footballer,” according to Noni Madueke, who also thinks he just naturally has a knack for it.
From the day of his arrival from Manchester City on deadline day last summer, Palmer has been nothing short of extraordinary.
The 22-year-old scorched the Premier League, and after making 11 assists and 22 goals in his first season at Stamford Bridge, he was crowned Premier League Young Player of the Year.
Palmer a pure footballer
Despite all the attacking quality in the Chelsea squad, which has been further boosted by the arrival of Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho and Joao Felix it still feels like the Blues are looking to Palmer to make things happen.
Palmer has picked up where he left off last season and already has four assists and a goal from Chelsea’s first three Premier League games.
The England international appears to make everything look so easy on the pitch and Madueke has labelled the former City man a “pure footballer.”
“The best way to describe him is he’s just a pure footballer,” he told Sky Sports.
“Whereas the rest of us probably have to work super hard, train hard, make sure our recovery is on point and our nutrition is on point.
“I just feel like, CP could just go on the pitch and just do his thing, and I don’t think he really worries about all those other stuff too much.
“You know, of course, he’s professional and he does his work, but I feel like he’s just a pure, natural football player.
“You could put him anywhere he will shine.”
