Cole Palmer has been a revelation at Chelsea since joining from Man City in the summer transfer window last year.
He has been the Blues’ most prolific player in the Premier League with nine goals and four assists in just 18 appearances.
The Englishman has been a vocal force in terms of creating opportunities for his teammates and always looking to get things done in the final third.
A graph created by Sky Sports shows how influential he really has been in terms of creating opportunities for his teammates this season.
Palmer is averaging 1.09 through balls (2nd best in PL) and 0.31 open play expected assists (2nd best) every 90 minutes in the league.
He is also averaging over 9.50 passes breaking an opposition’s backline, the eighth-best for any player in the Premier League this season.
The best thing about Palmer is that he is yet to hit his peak for Chelsea and will only get better and better once surrounded by more prolific finishers in the team.
