Ex-Manchester United and England midfielder, Paul Scholes has heaped massive praise on Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.

Cole Palmer has been the poster boy of the Premier League since signing for Chelsea, as his stock keeps rising with each game.

Palmer was brilliant for Chelsea last season, and has gone a step further this campaign.

Paul Scholes insists Palmer ‘has everything’, and has questioned why his former club did not poach him from Man City.

“Cole Palmer’s been brilliant, hasn’t he? I think he’s brilliant,” Paul Scholes said on The Overlap.

“He’s a big United fan as well. How did we miss him? We wouldn’t be 14th in the league if he’d come!

“Cole Palmer is a brilliant player – talent, goals, assists – he’s got everything.”
