'Definitely in the conversation' - Ex-Chelsea and Liverpool star reveals which player is 'neck-and-neck' with Mohamed Salah as the 'best' player in the Premier League

Premier League

<p>Salah has arguably been the best player in the world this season as the Liverpool star has scored 21 goals and provided 13 assists in 28 games. However, former defender Johnson thinks that Palmer is 'neck-and-neck' with the Egyptian as the best in this season's Premier League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.betvictor.com/en-gb/sports/240" target="_blank"><em>BetVictor</em></a>, Johnson said: "Cole Palmer is definitely in the conversation for being the best player in the Premier League. He’s performed in those games where Chelsea have been struggling. They’ve leant on his shoulders numerous times and he’s always delivered.</p><p>"If you put anyone ahead of Mohamed Salah in that conversation then they have to be the best player in the league because he’s set the bar so high. I’d probably say those two are neck-and-neck at the moment."</p>

WHAT JOHNSON SAID

<p>Palmer has hit another level since joining Chelsea from Manchester City in the summer of 2023. The England international has scored 38 goals and provided 21 assists in 67 games in all competitions for the Blues.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Egyptian and Palmer have both seen a slight dip in form over the last few games as Liverpool and Chelsea have both experienced subpar results. The Reds and the Blues are in FA Cup action against lower-league opposition this weekend, with Arne Slot's side hosting Accrington Stanley and Enzo Maresca's men taking on Morecambe.</p>
