Gallas Praises Cole Palmer’s Potential but Urges Patience

William Gallas, the former French international, has spoken highly of Cole Palmer, calling him a future star of European football. However, Gallas cautioned against calling him the best just yet, emphasizing that Palmer must replicate his Chelsea form on the international stage with England to fully validate his potential.

Gallas’ Thoughts on Cole Palmer’s Impact at Chelsea

In a recent interview with Prime Casino, Gallas acknowledged Palmer’s impressive performances for Chelsea, stating that the young player seems unfazed by pressure. He noted:

> “Cole Palmer can be the best player in Europe but I don’t want to hail him as the best player in the game until he does what he has done for Chelsea with England.”

Despite this, Gallas expressed his admiration for Palmer’s maturity and composure, particularly in critical moments.

Praise for Palmer’s Role Under Enzo Maresca

Gallas also praised Chelsea’s head coach, Enzo Maresca, for the freedom he has given Palmer to play in his preferred position. This tactical flexibility, according to Gallas, has contributed to Palmer’s standout performances. The two penalty goals Palmer scored were highlighted as examples of his confidence and composure on the field, qualities that have impressed many. Gallas added:

> “He has already put in so many great performances for Chelsea and looks like he doesn’t feel any pressure at all, he is so cool. The two penalties summed him up, Enzo Maresca has given him so much freedom and allowed him to play exactly where is best for him which has worked so well.”

Gallas’ Call for Patience

While Gallas has high expectations for Palmer, he urged caution in labeling the young player as the best in the game. He believes Palmer must now transfer his club-level success to the international stage with England before fully cementing his place among Europe’s elite.

A Bright Future for Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer’s talent and poise have already impressed many, including Gallas, but the former French defender urges patience. Palmer’s potential is undeniable, and under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, he has flourished at Chelsea. However, the next step for Palmer is to replicate this success on the international stage with England, a challenge Gallas believes will define his career.
