Chelsea defender Colwill praises Palmer's natural goalscoring ability: Paul Vegas

While Palmer's primary position is as a midfielder, he has gained recognition as a prolific goal scorer in the past 18 months with the Blues.

Colwill said: "You give him half a yard and it’s a goal.

"He’s so laid-back about it and it’s so frustrating at times because he’ll put it through your legs and score, then walk off like nothing has happened. You can’t get him back, that is the worst thing about it.

"Give him any chance outside the box or inside, it’s a 95 per cent chance it will be a goal. You see that in most games."
