‘The best’… Djordje Petrovic full of praise for ‘world-class’ Chelsea player

Djordje Petrovic has given one Chelsea player some huge praise for his impact this season at Stamford Bridge.

There’s three games remaining in Chelsea’s campaign to try get over the line for a European finish, but the club celebrated its End of Season Awards last night at Stamford Bridge.

It was a great individual evening for Blues star Cole Palmer, who won both the Men’s Players’ Player of the Season and Player of the Season, voted for by teammates and fans, respectively.

Djordje Petrovic hails Chelsea star

Blues goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, 24, has applauded one club teammate for his brilliance in this 2023/24 season.

He’s waxed lyrical about Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer.

Petrovic said via Chelsea’s Instagram account: “It’s clear he’s the best player this year. Goals, assists.”

Also, Blues keeper Robert Sanchez added: “He’s been amazing every single game.”

Cole Palmer record vs Premier League teams

It’s quite impressive that Palmer’s scored against 12 different Premier League clubs already this season.

He’s got a chance to add to that because he’s not scored against any of Chelsea’s three final opponents either (Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Bournemouth).

Look below at the sides Palmer’s scored against in the Premier League this campaign:

Team Goals scored
Everton 4
Manchester United 4
Burnley 3
Luton Town 2
Arsenal 1
Fulham 1
Manchester City 1
Newcastle United 1
Sheffield United 1
Tottenham 1
West Ham 1
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1

Speaking via The Evening Standard last month, Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka described Palmer as a “world-class player” for his impact on the pitch. We’re very much inclined to agree when you look at the amount of times the attacking playmaker has produced for his side over the course of a long campaign.
