EPL: Paul Merson names his favourite current Chelsea player

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has divulged his current top pick among Chelsea’s roster, singling out 21-year-old sensation Cole Palmer.

When asked to name his current Chelsea player in a recent social media Q&A, Merson simply wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday evening: “Cole Palmer.”

Amid a challenging season under manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea find themselves in the midst of a Premier League struggle, securing 11 victories, suffering 10 defeats, and settling for six draws in 27 encounters, landing them in the 11th spot with 39 points.

Nevertheless, amid the turbulence, Palmer has emerged as a beacon of hope for the club.

The England star made a significant decision in the summer transfer window by departing Manchester City for Stamford Bridge, a move that has paid dividends for both him and the club.

Palmer’s impact has been profound, featuring in 34 matches across all competitions and impressively contributing 14 goals and 12 assists, solidifying his status as a rising star in the Chelsea ranks.
