Pat Nevin believes that Cole Palmer, who left Manchester City for Chelsea last summer, has better vision than Phil Foden. Palmer has had an extraordinary season, scoring 26 goals and making 13 assists across all competitions. Nevin considers Palmer one of the most watchable players in the Premier League and believes he could be a true great of his generation. Another BBC pundit, Garth Crooks, also suggests that Palmer may be more talented than Foden.

In terms of statistics, Palmer and Foden are very close in terms of their vision this season. Palmer has made nine assists in the Premier League, while Foden has made eight. Both players have created a similar number of ‘big chances’, with Palmer edging slightly ahead. Foden is more accurate with his general passing, but Palmer likes to be more direct with 25 through balls played compared to Foden’s 14. Both players are outstanding young talents and valuable assets for Gareth Southgate’s England squad.

Despite leaving City for Chelsea last summer, Palmer’s performances have been exceptional and he has exceeded expectations. With his impressive vision and creativity, Palmer has proven himself to be a top talent in the Premier League and is a strong contender for the Player of the Season award. Nevin and other pundits believe that Palmer’s rise this season has been remarkable and he has the potential to continue growing and becoming a key player for both Chelsea and the England national team.
