Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy has dropped a hot take on Chelsea star Cole Palmer in comparison to Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.

For Murphy, Cole Palmer has a better all-round game than Saka.

“I love him, he has got years ahead of him being a superstar,” Murphy said.

“He is Chelsea’s best player, already. Easily. No one close.

“As long as they progress and become more competitive over the next year or two, you see him staying there because he has now become the main man. He is only going to get better by playing every week.

“He has got more goals than Saka. Saka is a wonderful player, I love him. He is a right-winger out and out. Palmer is playing there, even though he is a 10.

“But his all-round game you could argue is better [than Saka’s]. I am not saying he is a better right winger than Saka.

“But his all-round football ability in terms of passing, linking, dropping in, because Saka doesn’t play that role so it is not really a fair comparison.”

However, Murphy doesn’t rate Cole Palmer as the signing of the season, but chose him as second.

“It depends on whether you are looking at value for money, impact, I mean the biggest impact for me as a signing is [Micky] Van de Ven,” said Murphy.

“He has had the biggest impact. He is the one player at Tottenham where you think, ‘Oh my god, you don’t want him injured’.

“Everyone else they can cover. But I would have Cole Palmer second. [Alexis] Mac Allister maybe third.”
