"I had him sort of picked as like the best player in the Premier League, which, which, you know. It's a wild thing to say, but if you go back like a season and a half where he scored 20 plus goals and you're thinking he can easily be, you know, what Mo Salah is to Liverpool, like Cole Palmer is that to Chelsea."
"I mean, two massive clubs. So like, so it's not far-fetched to say he is or has the ability to be the best player in the Premier League. I mean, he's shown that, he's shown that. Now can you do that on a consistent basis?"
Mohamed Salah's career flourished after leaving Chelsea, becoming one of Premier League history's greatest players at Liverpool. Despite his current success, Salah never established himself at Chelsea during Jose Mourinho's tenure, with John Terry claiming he underperformed in training. Tim Howard now identifies Cole Palmer as Chelsea's equivalent to Salah, capable of delivering the goal contributions that defined Salah's Anfield career. Palmer has demonstrated elite-level performance, scoring over 20 goals in recent seasons and currently partnering effectively with Joao Felix. Howard suggests Palmer possesses the ability to become the Premier League's best player, though consistency remains the key question.
