Chelsea have had a flying end to the season and could yet finish fifth depending on what the final day brings for them and Tottenham.

The Blues have had to be patient under Mauricio Pochettino but eventually, the former Spurs boss seems to have found a formula with his young team.

A number of players have stepped up to the plate recently to show their worth. The likes of Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke and Malo Gusto have all performed well recently.

Of course, there is one man who has performed all season in the form of Cole Palmer.

The attacking midfielder has smashed in 27 goals and 14 assists in all competitions.

And speaking about the England man, former Blue Tony Cascarino has suggested Palmer can get even better.

Cole Palmer can get even better at Chelsea

Speaking on TalkSPORT about how good Palmer has been, Cascarino has suggested Palmer can still improve despite his brilliance this term.

“He has been brilliant. I think you take now how good he has been this year. If you are as good as you have been this year, that will do for me,” Cascarino said.

“Yes, of course, he can improve over the years in many aspects, but what he has had is a standout season.”

It’s been quite the season for Palmer when you look at those baseline stats.

Being directly involved in over 40 goals is some achievement for a 22-year-old who is effectively playing his first full season of Premier League football.

Palmer has drawn huge praise as well.

Simon Jordan recently suggested Palmer has taken his game to a whole new level in the last few weeks, while Kobbie Mainoo was delighted to see Palmer named the young player of the year.

Jermain Defoe has also lauded the Chelsea man after his superb showings.

The fact Palmer might go on to get even better is quite frightening really. If he can match this form next season, then Chelsea might actually be further up the table.
