EPL: Chelsea manager, Maresca names best player in Premier League

Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has hailed Cole Palmer as the best player in the Premier League.

Palmer scored all four goals as the Blues beat Brighton 4-2 in a six-goal thriller on Saturday.

Maresca has worked with the England midfielder at Manchester City U23s, highlighting his hunger and ambition after the game.

“He scored four but he also could have scored two or three more,” Maresca said.

“It’s important he stays hungry, ambitious and I know him from many years ago with the U23s at City and with the first team.

“What he is today as a boy is exactly what he was three or four years ago. Goals, assists, best player of the Premier League – this doesn’t change the way he is.”
