Chelsea “Continue to work” to sign 61 million pounds sterling “game changer”

While they have faced their fair share of criticisms for the amount of money spent, Chelsea has built an impressive team full to the brim with talented players in recent years.

From the defense to the attack, many stars who change the situation will probably give Enzo Maresca to serious headache based on the selection next season.

However, it is always clear that, as things are, Cole Palmer is by far the most important player in the blues.

The Englishman has already accumulated a count of 72 goal involvement in 97 games for the club, and therefore the fans should be delighted to bring reports connecting Chelsea to someone who could be the next palmer.

Chelsea targets the next palmer

It was an eventful summer for Chelsea so far this year, because in addition to participating and winning the club World Cup, they were incredibly active on the transfer market.

Of all the signatures that the blues have made so far, it would probably be right to say that Joao Pedro and Jorrel Hato are the most exciting, the first already scoring three goals and the second being one of the most popular defenders in world football at the moment.

However, even with their already considerably strengthened team, the West Londoners now seem to sign another promising talent, someone who could be the new Palmer of Maresca.

It is at least according to a recent report by the expert transfers Fabrizio Romano, who reaffirmed the intense interest of Chelsea for Xavi Simons.

More than that, the Italian journalist revealed that despite the interest of retirees for Alejandro Garnacho, they “continue to work” on the agreement to sign the star of RB Leipzig.

While Romano makes no mention of the quantity that Dutch could cost, reports earlier this month say that an amount of around 61 million pounds sterling should be sufficient to try German outfit.

It is certainly a lot of money to spend on a player, but Simons has proven his capacity in recent seasons and is worth it, especially since he could be the new Palmer of Chelsea.

Why Simons could be the new palmer

So the first thing we have to say is that we do not pretend that Simons is a player as good as Palmer, that in the past two years, English has nothing less than world class and undoubtedly one of the best players in all of the Premier League.

However, the Dutchman is always a sensational footballer, one with masses and masses of potential who share key similarities with the old Ace of Manchester City.

The first is that only 22 years old, he is almost the same age and has already established himself as a key player at the club and internationally.

For example, he has already won 28 senior caps for the Netherlands, six of which came to the European championships last year, and in these 28 games, he scored five goals and provided four assists.

At the club level, the star born in Amsterdam played 135 appearances through stays with Paris Saint-Germain, the PSV Eindhoven and, more recently, Leipzig.

During these 135 appearances, the dynamic “game changer”, while the talent of talented Jacek Kulig nicknamed it, scored 43 goals and provided 34 assists, which approaches a brilliant average of a achievement of the objectives every 1.75 games.

Aside from its production, the Flying Dutchman is also versatile and, like Palmer, is more than happy playing as a traditional number ten, or wide on the wings, where it can use its near control to slide past opposition defenders.

In the end, fans should not expect that Simons between and be at the same level as Palmer immediately, but there are key similarities between the pair, and over time, we see no reason why he could not become as effective for Maresca.
