Is Cole Palmer one of the best season signings?
Palmer has impressed since his move to Chelsea.
One of the major bright spots in an otherwise challenging season for Chelsea is young Cole Palmer, who has established himself as one of the key players on Pochettino's Chelsea team. Most recently, with 2 goals and 1 assist, he was the major architect behind the victory over Luton, and he can take pride in being the Chelsea player with the most goals and assists so far this season.

◉ 16 games
◉ 8 goals
◉ 4 assists
◉ 38 shots
◉ 27 chances created
Only one U21 player in Europe's top five leagues has a better goal contribution this season, and that is Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, indicating that Palmer is among the truly significant talents in Europe.
U21 players with the highest goal contribution:
◉ Jude Bellingham (15)
◉ Cole Palmer (12)
◉ Florian Wirtz (12)
◉ Xavi Simons (11)
◉ Savio (9)
Even though Chelsea is having a challenging season and has acquired many high-priced players who haven't made a significant impact, one must consider Palmer as a top signing. It's fair to label him as one of the season's signings in the Premier League this season.
