Cole Palmer has starred for Chelsea since joining the Blues from Manchester City in the summer, but Mauricio Pochettino believes he is most like a player who totally flopped in the top-flight
Mauricio Pochettino has rejected that Cole Palmer is most like Juan Mata, instead comparing him to former Manchester United flop Angel Di Maria.
Di Maria did score in the World Cup final last December, with Pochettino insisting Palmer's movements are reminiscent of the Argentine winger. The Chelsea boss believes there is still room for improvement in Palmer's game, but has been impressed with the youngster. Palmer started as Chelsea took on his former side Manchester City on Sunday evening. And Pochettino believes the Englishman has been aided by his previous experience in the Premier League.
