Former Chelsea<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> defender David Luiz<\/a> says England star Cole Palmer<\/a> is on ‘another level’.<\/p>\n

Palmer has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past 18 months, going from a bit-part player at Manchester City to a Premier League superstar.<\/p>\n

The likeable and hugely talented playmaker made 41 appearances for boyhood club Man City before completing a \u00a340m move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given his lack of minutes under Pep Guardiola, that fee raised some eyebrows but Palmer has proven to be an absolute bargain for big-spending Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Palmer was named the PFA Fans’ Player of the Year and the Premier League Young Player of the Year after a breakout first season at Stamford Bridge and has continued to impress this term with 14 goals and six assists.<\/p>\n

Luiz has described Palmer as ‘world-class’ – even likening him to Chelsea legend Eden Hazard – and says he is ‘enjoying’ watching his development.<\/p>\n

‘Cole, like Eden, is on another level, he\u2019s a world-class player,’ the Premier League and Champions League winner told The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘He took a tough\u00a0decision to leave Man City and it was the right one for him. Everybody can now see the amazing player that he is.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m enjoying seeing him play. He\u2019s intelligent and intelligent players are difficult to defend.<\/p>\n

‘He\u2019d have played in my 2012 and 2017 [Chelsea] teams – for world-class players there\u2019s always a place.’<\/p>\n

Luiz spent the majority of his Premier League career at Chelsea but also had a spell at their London rivals Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Discussing other current Chelsea players that have caught his eye, the 37-year-old Brazilian added: ‘I love a lot of players at Chelsea but in particular [Moises[ Caicedo.<\/p>\n

‘He has some amazing qualities, he\u2019s powerful. He didn\u2019t start well but he had the personality to keep going, keep fighting and now he\u2019s started to show his class.<\/p>\n
