Cucurella praises Chelsea, calling the club “very special”

Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella has expressed high praise for his teammate Cole Palmer, recognizing his impressive performances for the club.Palmer’s rise coincides with his continued development in England, where his talent is flourishing at an incredible rate.

At 22 years old, the England international left Manchester City to join Chelsea in the summer of 2023, in a deal reportedly worth an initial £40 million.Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Palmer has quickly established himself as arguably Chelsea’s standout performer.

Last season, he netted 22 goals and delivered 11 assists in 33 Premier League appearances for the club.In the current season, Palmer has already scored six goals and provided five assists in just seven league matches, solidifying his impact.During an interview with *The Guardian*, Cucurella highlighted Palmer’s unique qualities, describing him as a “special player.”

“If you saw him off the field, you’d never guess he was a footballer, but once he’s on the pitch, he makes everything look effortless, scoring with what seems like minimal effort,” Cucurella said.

“He’s unlike anyone else. It’s hard to put into words—he’s special,” Cucurella told the *Chelsea Chronicle*.The left-back added humorously, “If he keeps this up, he’ll be among the best. He may not have the strongest hair, but if that’s his biggest issue, he’s doing just fine.”
