The Blues’ Cole Palmer is a better dribbler than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, according to Chelsea icon Eden Hazard. Palmer was also ranked higher by the former captain of the Belgian national team than players like Alexander Isak and Eberechi Eze. In a winner-stays-on format, the Premier League media team asked the former Real Madrid forward to select the superior dribbler among the available possibilities. In the subsequent round, Hazard selected Eze over Mitoma after first selecting Mohammed Kudus over Kaoru Mitoma. Hazard believed he was the superior dribbler, and Eze went on to defeat Phil Foden, Florian Wirtz, and Jack Grealish in the following three rounds.Palmer, however, defeated Eze, who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace last summer. Palmer was still Hazard’s first pick, ahead of Salah and Isak. Palmer was likened to Hazard earlier this year, according to the DAILY POST. Palmer is similar to the Belgian, according to former Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo, who backed him to win the Ballon d’Or in an interview with Goal.
