'The way he moves': Pochettino compares Cole Palmer to Argentine World Cup legend, not Messi
Mauricio Pochettino has likened Cole Palmer to Argentina World Cup legend Angel Di Maria.
"You know, the body and the way he moves," Pochettino said of Palmer as he praised the impact of the new signing.
"Too many players for different reasons like here at Chelsea, split or take different decisions but I think it is not fair to say no it surprises me because now he is performing and he didn’t play too much at City.
"We are two different clubs with different visions, with different objectives and maybe he fits really well [at] Chelsea.
"For Cole maybe it happened with different players. Kovacic, I don’t know what happened here, he is not here, he moved from Chelsea to City, that is always difficult to judge this type of decision.
"He is from Manchester. It is not easy for a Manchester boy to come here.
"Of course, it is easier for him to adapt to the Premier League. When someone comes to England from the outside, you don't know if they can understand the language, weather, culture and food," Poch adds.
Palmer has been brilliant for Chelsea since arriving on transfer deadline day in a deal worth £42m.
So far, the young Englishman has bagged three goals and four assists in 11 games for the Blues. It makes him Chelsea's best goal contributor so far.
