As a result of his transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea in the summer transfer window for a fee of 42.5 million pounds, Palmer has gotten off to a strong start in his career at Chelsea.

With six goals and five assists for Chelsea this season, the 21-year-old is making a strong case for a spot in England’s squad for the Euro 2024 tournament, which will take place the following year.

In the meantime, Di Maria is doing well in his second term at Benfica, which comes exactly one year after he was instrumental in Argentina’s victory at the World Cup in Qatar.

The manager of Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino, has admitted that he finds similarities between the Argentine and Palmer. Pochettino worked alongside Di Maria during their time together at Paris Saint-Germain.

Because of the position that he plays, the fact that he is a left-footer, the fact that he shares some characteristics with Angel Di Maria, and the quality that he possesses, he has the potential to become an Angel Di Maria. According to what Pochettino stated about Palmer in an interview with TNT Sports.

Angel, who is an incredible player, won the world championship with Argentina. He was in Paris with us. Angel is a world champion.

“With the passage of time, he [Palmer] has the capability and the potential to be more intimate with him.” Even if he is still a long way off, he is the kind of player who can connect up with others, who can be a playmaker, who can score and assist, and who is similar to Angel.Whenever you sign a player, you always have the expectation that they would perform to the best of their abilities.

“But of course, he’s performing really well from Day 1; he’s adapted very well to the club, to the teammates, and to the life of Chelsea, and yes, it’s amazing, because you always expect the player to perform well, but he’s doing excellent,” the coach said.
