Enzo Maresca said that one Chelsea player possesses a unique ability that no one else has.
Former goalkeeper Ben Foster has praised a standout player from Chelsea, highlighting his exceptional talent on the pitch.
Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca is currently managing a youthful yet gifted squad, thanks to the club’s strategy of investing in promising young players. While their lack of experience is noticeable, their potential is undeniable.
If Chelsea secures a Champions League spot and lifts the Conference League trophy by the end of the 2024/25 season, it would mark significant progress for this developing side.
Pundit Tony Cascarino has even gone as far as to claim that Chelsea’s midfield can compete with the best in the Premier League. With a few strategic additions, the club could take another big step forward.
Ben Foster was especially impressed by Cole Palmer following Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Liverpool. On his YouTube channel, he expressed admiration for Palmer’s control and creativity, noting one particular moment where the 22-year-old dribbled to the byline and nearly scored with a clever shot that hit the post. Foster emphasized that very few players could attempt such a move, calling Palmer “phenomenal.”
Palmer’s flair was crucial in that match, and his successful penalty added a much-needed boost to his confidence. He continues to wow fans with his skill and vision, earning comparisons to legends like Arjen Robben from Claude Makelele.
As Chelsea pushes for a top-five finish, Palmer is also in a statistical duel with Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, with both players tied for the most chances created in the league—84 according to FOTMOB—just ahead of Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
Despite concerns over a slight dip in form, Palmer’s consistent creativity proves he remains a key attacking asset. Gary Neville summed it up well: watching him play is a true delight.
