Chelsea youngster Cole Palmer has been compared to a young Kevin De Bruyne.

The talent, who came through the Manchester City academy and switched clubs in the summer, is blossoming at Stamford Bridge.

Palmer has been impressive in recent Premier League games, with ex-Chelsea winger Pat Nevin already an admirer.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Nevin stated. "There are rays of hope (at Chelsea), however. The brightest is Cole Palmer.

"I was wary of saying it out loud before but, watching him at the Bridge once again, I am convinced this lad could be world-class very soon.

"He is the closest I have seen to a young Kevin De Bruyne for a very long time."
