Chris Sutton names the ‘best England player’ in the Premier League

Chris Sutton has named Cole Palmer as the ‘best England player’ in the Premier League ahead of the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.
One of the few mistakes Pep Guardiola has made during his incredibly successful spell in charge of Manchester City was agreeing to sell Palmer to Chelsea.
Some thought £40m for a player struggling for minutes at the Etihad Stadium was good business by the champions but Palmer has made a mockery of that fee over the past 18 months.
Palmer has 33 goals and 18 assists in 69 Premier League appearances. He won the Young Player of the Year award last season and is in contention for the main award this time around, having helpe Chelsea emerge as surprise title contenders.
Sutton believes Palmer is clearly the best ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app England player in the top-flight despite the likes of Saka and Rice starring for club and country in recent years.
Outside of the Premier League, Bundesliga goalscoring machine Harry Kane and La Liga talisman Jude Bellingham are up there with the best players at England’s disposal.
Asked who he rates as the best England player in the Premier League, Sutton told ‘That’s not difficult… Cole Palmer.
‘He’s so, so natural. He seems to play a different game to most players in the Premier League.
‘He’s three yards sharper than everybody else, thinks ahead, handles the ball brilliantly. And we saw that Panenka penalty he scored against Tottenham.
‘I scored a Panenka once up at Celtic when we were 4-0 up against Hibbs. But that’s quite another thing when you’re in a tight London derby game. I know they were ahead at that particular time but still.
There’s different ways to take penalties but to have that confidence in your execution, that courage, that tells you where he’s at at this moment in time.
‘You have to hark back to Manchester City letting him actually leave. You look at City and you think, Pep didn’t make many mistakes, but that looks to be one where he must think, “That’s one that got away.”
‘Cole Palmer has been brilliant. He’s the best English player in the Premier League and certainly the English player I enjoy watching the most.
