LONDON -- It's that time of year when the conversation turns to assessing the Premier League's signing of the season and it will take a compelling argument to suggest that anybody but Chelsea's Cole Palmer deserves that distinction. Another goal and assist in Monday's 3-2 win against Newcastle only served to hammer home his credentials.
Chelsea have certainly made enough signings during the last two windows to get at least one right, but Palmer, who sealed a £40 million transfer from Manchester City on deadline day last September, has been a revelation.
