‘I was too young’ - Chelsea star Cole Palmer reacts after being compared to Arsenal legend

The England international has been an instrumental player for Chelsea since signing for the Blues in 2023.

The midfielder played an important role in Chelsea’s 4-2 thrashing of Brighton in the Premier League at the weekend.

Palmer became the first player in Premier League history to score a hattrick in a first-half game with four goals in the match.

Following Palmer's performance in Chelsea's win, the midfielder was compared to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp.

However, he has claimed that he did not get to watch the Arsenal and Premier League legend.

Speaking on BBC, Cole Palmer was asked how he feels being compared to Dennis Bergkamp, he said, "I didn't really watch him, I was too young. I've seen clips and stuff."

Palmer has made 53 appearances, scoring 31 goals and providing 19 assists for Chelsea since his move.

The England star will be looking to continue his goal-scoring form when Chelsea face Gent in the Europa Conference League.
