Former Chelsea and Tottenham defender Jason Cundy believes Chelsea starlet Cole Palmer is a better version of Kai Havertz.

The Blues sold the German star to Arsenal in the summer, bringing in Palmer from Manchester City.

Speaking after a 4-1 win over Burnley, during which Palmer scored and assisted, Cundy hailed the 21-year-old.

"Cole Palmer is turning out to be the player that we hoped Kai Havertz would be," said Cundy on talkSPORT's Game Day Phone-In show.

"He's in a slightly different position, but he's the player that we hoped Havertz would turn into and he looks like a class act.

"We've not played badly this season. The performances have not got us the results that I think we've deserved but today we were ruthless."
