Chelsea meritorious coach Di Matteo talked about Palmer in an interview, who believes that Palmer can become a player at the Golden Ball level.

DiMao said: "Every player has his own style, and Palmer is the kind of player who is very difficult to defend. He is also very smart and always has insight into the gaps on the court. If he is compared with a former Chelsea player, it may be Hazard.

" Palmer's characteristics are similar to Hazard. Palmer can also easily pass the opponent with his first touch, then find space, break through the defensive player, and give goals or assists. I think Palmer has all the talents to win the Golden Globes, of course it depends on how much he can achieve with the team. To win the Golden Globes, you need to gain a foothold in the Champions League and the national team, you need to compete for the Premier League championship and even win it.

"Palmer is the kind of player who can change the appearance of the team. When he is in a hot state, the whole team will also become excellent. As we saw last season, if Palmer fails to be at his normal level, the team will also struggle a little and seem to be difficult to find any other way. In short, I think Palmer can be a strong contender for the Golden Globes."
