Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has revealed the best position for new Chelsea signing Cole Palmer.

Chelsea signed Palmer from Manchester City on transfer deadline day in a deal worth £43million.

When asked about Palmer’s best position, Pochettino said: “He has the quality to play between the lines, No. 10, playmaker.

“He is a player who is different to the players we have. He can play on the side, left or right. He can play one-v-one and go inside and link with the play.

“Then he can also play as a No. 10 as he has the quality. He also can play No. 8 as he has accuracy with his passes.”
