Former Chelsea captain John Terry has named Cole Palmer as the best No. 10 in the world at present.
Chelsea returned to winning ways on Saturday, defeating Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer put the home side ahead in the 21st minute, slotting in Male Gusto’s through ball. Gusto then doubled the lead for the Blues before half-time, and that was enough to secure all three points for the west London side.
Terry praised Palmer, describing the England international as “the best No. 10 in world football.”
“I was also delighted to have Cole Palmer back in the team and playing in that No. 10 role,” he said on TikTok.
“I’m not sure there’s anyone better in world football playing in the No. 10 role. If there is, Palmer certainly gives them a run for their money.
“He’s so brave, constantly on the half-turn trying to get in those little pockets. It’s a defender’s nightmare when you come up against a player like that.”
The win took the Blues to fourth place in the Premier League table.
