Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has lavished some serious praise on youngster Cole Palmer.
The boss said that Palmer has the ability to be as good as Argentina winger Angel Di Maria.
"[Cole Palmer] has the capacity and the potential to be close to [Angel Di Maria], with time,"
"He's still far away, but this type of player that can link, can be a playmaker, have the capacity to score, assist.
"He's performing really well from Day 1, he's adapted very well to the club, to the team-mates, to Chelsea life, and yes it's amazing, because always you expect the player can perform well, but he's doing excellent."
