Bruno Fernandes praises Cole Palmer after hat-trick

Chelsea forward Coles Palmer has been hailed by Bruno Fernandes following his fantastic hat-trick for the team, which resulted in a 3-1 victory over Wolves here at Molineux Stadium on Saturday.

Fernandes went to Instagram to congratulate Palmer, saying, What a player, with a clapping emoji. The remark attracted thousands of likes and several hundred comments.

Palmer again found his goal-scoring touch following a problematic season, scoring all three first-half goals in the first 45 minutes at Molineux, and demonstrating the difference he can make to a game.

In his first season at Stamford Bridge, the 23-year-old scored 27 goals in all competitions, won various personal awards, and proved his position in the England team.

Even his performances have generated speculation about a transfer in January, where rumours suggested a move to Manchester United due to homesickness.

Although those allegations were refuted by a manager of Chelsea, Liam Rosenior, it is obvious that such clubs as United are keeping a close eye on him.

Chelsea manager Rosenior, too, was delighted with the form of Palmer.

"We know what a world-class player he is,” Rosenior said.

"He's played a lot of football over the last year with not much rest. When he's at his best, he's unstoppable. I'm delighted to be working with him."

It is pertinent to mention that speculation arose about a January move to Manchester United amid homesickness rumours, though Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior denied them.
