Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella has praised Cole Palmer’s exceptional form, describing the England star as “special”. However, Cucurella jokingly noted that Palmer’s hairstyle lets him down.
Palmer has been in scintillating form, scoring six goals and registering five assists in seven Premier League games. His quartet of goals against Brighton made history.
The Chelsea defender, Cucurella said: “If you see him not in his kit you would never in your life say he was a footballer, but then on the pitch, he shoots and it doesn’t seem like he is hitting it hard but he scores them all.
“He’s very different. I don’t know how to explain it: he’s special. We’re very lucky we have him. We’re lucky he didn’t play much in the Euros either because he came on and almost messed it up for us [scoring in the final].
The left-back referenced Palmer’s Euro 2024 final performance, saying: “He almost messed it up for us with his equaliser.” Cucurella concluded: “If he carries on like this, he’ll be among the best.”
Cucurella added that the player’s only problem is his hair. “There’s not much strength in the hair, but if that’s his only problem, then he’s all right.”
