EPL: Martin Keown compares Chelsea star to De Bruyne

Arsenal legend, Martin Keown has compared Chelsea’s Cole Palmer to Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.

Keown spoke after Palmer inspired Chelsea to a crucial 1-0 win against Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

He feels the England star has ‘helicopter vision’ which is an attribute De Bruyne possess.

Keown said (via talkSPORT): “Palmer played a De Bruyne-like pass, it’s the kind of pass we hadn’t seen in this game yet. Palmer sees these opportunities on the pitch.

“We talk about a helicopter vision of the game from De Bruyne, and I think Palmer has that as well.”

Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City last summer.
