(Image): Cole Palmer joins elite list of four historical Chelsea players at just 22-years-old

The words to describe just how good Cole Palmer is as a football player are running out, but I am going to attempt to find a load more anyway.

The Chelsea talisman just scored four goals in the first half of Chelsea’s 4-2 win against Brighton yesterday in the Premier League. He became the first player to ever score four goals in one half in the Premier League, that alone is incredible.

Sources: The one key element Chelsea have changed in recruitment specifics that has benefited them massively.

But scoring four also meant he grabbed another hat-trick in a Chelsea shirt, which was incredibly his third already in just two seasons at the age of just 22! Can you even fathom just how incredible all of that is?

He joins the elite

As you can see above, Palmer now joins Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Frank Lampard, and Didier Drogba in getting the most ever hat-tricks (3) for Chelsea!

And the scary thing here is that Palmer has MANY years left (hopefully) as a Chelsea player and is likely to elevate ahead of them all!
