Palmer showcased his talent for Chelsea on Monday, scoring a goal and providing an assist in their 3-2 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League. This stellar performance at Stamford Bridge has put him on par with his England teammate Bellingham, with both players contributing to 19 goals this season. As a result, they currently lead the chart for players aged 21 or under with the highest number of goal involvements in Europe’s top five leagues.
In the Premier League alone, Palmer has scored 11 goals and assisted eight times, while Bellingham, the Real Madrid star, has netted 16 goals in La Liga and assisted three times. Bellingham’s overall contributions across all competitions this season stand at 29, compared to Palmer’s 26.
Palmer, who honed his skills at Manchester City’s youth academy, made the switch to Chelsea last summer. Following his match-winning performance against Newcastle, he expressed satisfaction with his transfer, stating that it has provided him with the platform to exhibit his abilities.
The 21-year-old will be back in action on Sunday as Mauricio Pochettino’s team takes on Leicester City in an FA Cup quarter-final clash.
