Latest Nottingham Forest news as they prepare to face Cole Palmer and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Richard Keys has raved about Chelsea’s Cole Palmer ahead of Nottingham Forest’s trip to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca labelled Palmer the Premier League’s best player in the wake of the England international’s four goals in their 4-2 win against Brighton last weekend. He netted all four goals in the first half at Stamford Bridge, with Forest next up for the Blues on home soil in the Premier League on Sunday (2pm).
Having scored 22 times in the Premier League last season, after joining Chelsea from Manchester City for £42.5m, he has already netted six times at the start of this campaign. And writing in his blog, Keys said: “Cole Palmer. Wow. What a player. He’s streets ahead of (Jude) Bellingham.
“I can’t think of better money ever being spent. What a rick Guardiola dropped letting him go. He’s already worth £100m more than Chelsea paid and he’s only going to get better. I love watching him.”
“I can’t believe the level that he’s getting to and to think that he wasn’t playing for England in the European Championship in the summer now just seems absolutely ridiculous.
“And it seems even more ridiculous that Manchester City, who have been unbelievable in the transfer market, have let one of their own go.”
