Marc Cucurella Takes a Swipe at Cole Palmer As Chelsea Star Continues to Excel

• Marc Cucurella aimed a cheeky dig at Cole Palmer despite the forward being Chelsea's outstanding player at the moment
• Palmer has settled in well to life in West London, with only Erling Haaland outscoring him since he joined Chelsea
• Despite the troll, Cucurella lavished praise on the England international, saying Chelsea was 'lucky' to have him

Marc Cucurella aimed a cheeky dig at Cole Palmer despite the Chelsea forward's continued successes at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer has shot up immensely to become one of the best football players in the world after making the £40million switch from Manchester City last season.

He finished his debut season in West London with 22 goals and 11 assists to help Chelsea return to European football.

Alongside his success, the England international is also a lovely figure in the Chelsea dressing room, with his teammates always poking fun at him.

Cucurella has become the latest one to enter the fray, with the fullback hilariously taking issue with Palmer's hair.

"If he carries on like this, he’ll be among the best. There’s not much strength in the hair, but if that’s his only problem, then he’s all right," he said as quoted by Standard.

"If you see him not in his kit, you would never in your life say he was a footballer, but then on the pitch … he shoots, and it doesn’t seem like he is hitting it hard, but he scores them all."

The Spanish star, however, had glowing praise for his teammate, backing him to go on and become one of the best players in the world.
