As a result of the draw with Burnley, Cole Palmer has now accomplished what Eden Hazard was able to accomplish in his debut season at Chelsea

In today’s match between Chelsea and Burnley, which ended in a 2-2 tie, Chelsea forward Cole Palmer was able to get his name on the scoresheet for the second time.

Mykhailo Mudryk was hauled down within the penalty area by Lorenz Assignon during the first half of the match. Assignon was shown a second yellow card for the foul, which resulted in him being fired from the game. Chelsea was granted a penalty.

In the same manner that he has done throughout the entire season, Cole Palmer scored a goal from the penalty spot to give Chelsea the lead and score his 12th goal in the Premier League tournament.

Burnley were still managed to cancel out Palmer’s penalty, with Josh Cullen’s well-taken shot beating Djordje Petrovic. This was accomplished despite the fact that Burnley were reduced to 10 men playing.

In spite of this, Palmer joined a select group of four former Chelsea players, including Eden Hazard, when he scored his first goal out of his two goals this afternoon. Graeme Souness does not believe that the 21-year-old member of the Blues has been the finest player this season, despite the fact that he has been quite impressive throughout the season.

In the aftermath of Burnley’s encounter, Cole Palmer has equaled Eden Hazard.
Additionally, Palmer has registered eight assists in the English top flight, in addition to the fact that he has scored thirteen goals in the Premier League.

For what reason is that so important? Obviously, this indicates that the Englishman has now hit the milestone of twenty goal involvements for the squad coached by Mauricio Pochettino during this season, which is a very outstanding accomplishment.

But what makes it even more astounding is that, according to Nizaar Kinsella, a journalist for the Evening Standard, just four previous football players who have played for Chelsea have managed to achieve that accomplishment in their first season at Stamford Bridge. Hazard is one of those four players.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Diego Costa, and Cesc Fabregas are the other three names on the list. All three of these players joined Chelsea in the same year.

Might Chelsea be able to lose Cole Palmer?
Since Palmer is set to remain under Chelsea’s contract until the year 2030, the club should not feel any pressure to move him this summer.

The England international player has also recently joined the club and is currently playing on a regular basis; therefore, it is highly unlikely that he would be interested in a move at this time.

His numbers, on the other hand, have been absolutely insane this season. In the event that Chelsea continues to suffer and Palmer has another campaign similar to this one, several of the most prestigious clubs in Europe, including possibly even his previous club Manchester City, will come knocking.

In the event that his current side continues to finish in the bottom half of the standings and is eliminated from the Champions League, it would be difficult to say no.

Palmer, on the other hand, is not a guy that Chelsea will want to lose, and it is for this reason that the club is rumored to want to make him their poster boy.
