Jamie Carragher believes Cole Palmer could be the key to Liverpool winning the Premier League if he were part of Arne Slot’s squad.
Carragher Claims Liverpool Would Win the Title with Chelsea’s Cole Palmer
The Liverpool legend has been vocal ahead of the highly anticipated clash between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield, where both teams are fighting for critical points in the race for the title.
Carragher, now a pundit, has praised Palmer’s performances this season, claiming that if the 21-year-old attacker were in Liverpool’s ranks, it could give them the edge to secure the Premier League crown.
Palmer, who left Manchester City for Chelsea in a £45 million deal, has been one of the breakout stars this season.
With six goals and five assists to his name, he’s already establishing himself as a standout performer at Stamford Bridge.
Carragher’s admiration for Palmer is clear. He suggested that the young Englishman has the potential to transform Liverpool’s attack.
“If Palmer was at Liverpool, Arne Slot would be more likely to finish his debut season as a title winner,” Carragher commented.
He pointed to Palmer’s creativity and goal involvement, drawing comparisons to Chelsea legends like Didier Drogba and Diego Costa.
Despite the praise, Palmer is unlikely to switch clubs anytime soon. His contract with Chelsea runs until 2033, and with Maresca’s confidence in the player, the Blues will be eager to keep hold of their rising star.
Nevertheless, Carragher’s comments reflect how highly Palmer is regarded in English football. As Chelsea prepare to face Liverpool, Palmer’s ability to unlock defences could be pivotal for the London side.
Both teams have much to play for, but it’s clear Carragher can’t help but wonder how much Palmer could impact Liverpool’s title hopes if he were in red instead of blue.
