Three Chelsea players are now named in U21 Premier League Team of the Season so far

Chelsea have three representatives in the Premier League Team of the Season so far for Under-21 players.

WhoScored have recorded the Blues trio of Malo Gusto, Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer in the interesting XI.

You only need to look around to see how many youngsters are playing in Chelsea’s first-team squad this season, so perhaps it’s no surprise that there’s a few representatives in the line-up.

It does prove that there’s been some bright sparks at Stamford Bridge this campaign despite sitting mid-table.

Statisticians WhoScored have named its Premier League’s Under-21s Team of the Season, with the one rule that players were aged 21 & under as of 1 August this year.

First of all, Chelsea defender Gusto is included in the right-back spot with an overall rating of 6.54. The 20-year-old’s looked pretty solid so far during his first few months in England. His main issue now will be a lack of game time following the return of club captain Reece James.

Next, 20-year-old star Colwill makes the team in the left-back position. He’s got an impressive 6.83 rating so far this campaign due to his commanding performances at the back.

Finally, Palmer, who became a senior England international last night, slots into WhoScored’s XI as the attacking midfielder with a 6.98 match rating. We think you could make a strong case for the 21-year-old being one of the division’s best young players so far.

Cole Palmer best of the bunch

We’re certainly look at Palmer as the brightest of the young prospects right now.

Speaking via Channel 4 last night, Jermain Defoe described Palmer as a “clever footballer”. We think he’s spot on with that assessment.

The left-footed attacking midfielder is in for a big season if he can keep grounded and fit.

There’s no doubt that he’s already a key cog for Mauricio Pochettino’s side whenever they go forward.

PETER HITCHENS: Our deadbeat leaders are marching us towards chaos. Why on earth do we trust them on war in Ukraine?

Do you have confidence in our leaders on tax, health, policing, farming, immigration, sleaze, housing, education or transport? Every single one a bungle, run by deadbeats where they generally achieve the opposite of what they promise. So why trust them on war in Ukraine? Yet here we go again, down the road to chaos. The weaker we get, the louder we shout. How the rest of the world must snigger at our great power posturing in Ukraine last week. They will have laughed especially at how pathetically and quickly we aped the Americans as they went directly into war with Moscow, authorising US Service personnel to guide ATACMS weapons to targets in Russia. As soon as Washington announced this dubious plan, London did the same with our Storm Shadow rockets. These cannot be launched without the direct involvement of British military know-how and American guidance systems.

What America REALLY thinks of Trump’s plan to pardon January 6 protesters

New polling has suggested Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to president-elect Donald Trump’s plan to pardon January 6 defendants. During his campaign, he had pledged to ‘absolutely’ pardon those involved in the January 6 Capitol storming, frequently referring to them as ‘patriots’ and ‘hostages’. When Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, he will have the authority to wipe those cases of the 1,488 people charged in relation to Jan 6.
