Cole Palmer offers a differing perspective from Reece James, who praised him as “one of the best” during a post-match interview at City Ground after Chelsea’s dramatic win over Nottingham Forest.
While James lauded Palmer’s talents, the young midfielder responded with humility, expressing gratitude for the compliment but downplaying his own abilities.
Palmer acknowledged James’ words, stating, “I wouldn’t go that far, but obviously it’s nice to hear.” He emphasized the importance of staying grounded, especially in his debut season playing regularly in the league. Despite his modesty, Palmer expressed appreciation for the warm welcome he received at Chelsea.
