Palmer's scoring prowess propels him into Chelsea's hall of fame alongside legends Hazard and Robben

His latest goal in the Premier League clash against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road highlights his growing importance in the Blues' lineup.

The 21-year-old forward demonstrated his exceptional skills by capitalising on a mistake from his former Manchester City teammate Issa Kabore, unleashing a powerful left-footed strike to put Chelsea ahead. 

Palmer's contribution didn't stop there; he also set up Noni Madueke for Chelsea's second goal before rounding off his performance with a beautifully crafted goal, showcasing his composure and skill.

With eight goals and four assists this season, Palmer has become a crucial figure in Chelsea's attack, outshining many of his teammates in terms of goal involvement. 

His ability to both score and assist in multiple games set him apart as one of Chelsea's most effective players this season.

Cole Palmer's achievement places him in an exclusive group of young Chelsea talents who have reached double figures for goal involvement before turning 22. 

He joins the ranks of Chelsea greats like Robben, who had a stellar debut season in 2004/05, and Hazard, who made an immediate impact after his transfer from Lille in 2012. Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic also achieved this feat in recent seasons.

Palmer's transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea, a move that cost £40 million, was initially met with surprise. However, his performances have silenced any sceptics, earning him praise from fans and pundits alike. 

Dean Ashton, speaking on talkSPORT, lauded Palmer's skill and precision, saying, “What a gift he’s been from Manchester City. It was a big surprise when he turned up at Stamford Bridge and has by far been their best-attacking player. He didn’t lash at it, he just struck straight through it.”

As Chelsea continues their campaign, Palmer's emergence as a key player is a bright spot in their season, indicating a promising future for the young star at Stamford Bridge
