Cole Palmer has been the most creative player in Europe’s top five leagues since December 4, fashioning an impressive 32 chances for his teammates, according to Opta.

Despite his outstanding playmaking efforts, the Chelsea midfielder has not registered a single assist in this period, as none of those opportunities have been converted into goals.

Palmer’s performances have been a bright spot for Chelsea, but the lack of finishing from his teammates has prevented him from adding to his assist tally.

So far this season, Palmer has recorded 14 goals and 6 assists in 26 appearances for the Blues, underlining his importance in Enzo Maresca’s setup.

With a more potent strike force, Cole Palmer will be racking up impressive assist stats.
