Chelsea fans couldn’t tell whether Romeo Lavia was a good signing or not, after playing only one game for the Blues.

Chelsea splashed £53m to sign Lavia, beating off competition from Liverpool, but he had an injury-ridden season, starting from pre-season until the end of the campaign.

Cole Palmer has revealed that the 20-year-old midfielder is so good, and has told Chelsea fans to watch out for him.

“One person I’ve played with [who is good] is Romeo Lavia,” Premier League young player of the season, Cole Palmer told SPORTbible.

“We’ve not seen him this season because he’s been injured for a full year but I think he’s one that, when he gets playing everyone will think, ‘Oh, he’s really good’.”
