Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is full of praise for youngster Cole Palmer.

The attacking midfielder was a summer arrival from Manchester City and has settled into the team immediately.

Palmer, who helped the side reach the Carabao Cup final, will line up against City at the weekend in the Premier League.

On Palmer, his manager stated: “He's very smart. In Spanish, there's a word that shows how he is but in English it's hard. He's so emotionally intelligent and he is going to play good, or not so good, but it's not because of the pressure."

He then added: “He's a player that today when one person here in the staff said to me, 'He's from Manchester, but he looks Brazilian'.

“He has the capacity to adapt so quick. One of our strengths, Argentine people, Brazilian people, American people, we came to Europe and we survived, we adapted so quickly.

“For him, he arrived to the club and that is the key, very quick to the life here in Cobham and London and the club. That makes him show his talent."
