‘I never expected’: Michael Owen says ‘special’ Chelsea player has really shocked him this season

Chelsea are slowly but surely improving in recent weeks.

The Blues have hit a bit of form as of late, and their 6-0 win against Everton on Monday was incredible to watch.

Dare we say that Chelsea are looking good at the moment? It’s too soon to get ahead of ourselves, but there are certainly green shoots emerging at Stamford Bridge.

For the first time in a long time, there’s something to get excited about in west London, and, as many know, there’s one man who deserves most of the credit for this recent revival.

Indeed, Cole Palmer has put Chelsea on his back recently, and speaking on Premier League Productions, Michael Owen has been discussing the attacker’s recent incredible form.

Michael Owen praises Cole Palmer

Owen spoke about Palmer and how shocked he’s been by his recent performances.

“I never expected him to reach these levels already, I must admit. I liked him at Man City, but I didn’t think he was as special as he is, but he’s now really forcing himself into the England reckoning for this summer,” Owen said.

Cole Palmer has shocked everyone

Owen says he’s been shocked by Palmer’s rise this season, and, to be honest, he’s not the only one.

Indeed, while some may have rated Palmer highly heading into this campaign, there probably wasn’t a single fan in the country who’d back him to score as many goals as Erling Haaland this season.

There’s a genuine chance that Palmer wins the Premier League Golden Boot, and that is truly sensational for a player who is on the wing for a team that is struggling so much.

Palmer is very much a world-class talent, and if Chelsea can build around him in the coming years, he could take the Blues back to the top of the game.
