NEW Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso says Cole Plamer is ready to shine for the London club this season.
Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has labelled Cole Palmer a 'world-class' player and backed the England international to produce his best football this season after completing a full pre-season under the Spaniard.
Palmer, who has established himself as one of Chelsea’s key attacking players since joining the club, has had the opportunity to work with Alonso from the first day of pre-season at Cobham.
With Chelsea set to begin their Premier League campaign away against Fulham on Monday, Alonso believes Palmer is in a strong position to make a major impact.
“Cole is determined to enjoy his football. He wants to be fit. He wants to feel healthy. He wants to have a good connection with the players around him,” Alonso said at the pre-match press conference.
