Geremi Compares Cole Palmer to Frank Lampard

Former Chelsea midfielder Geremi has likened Cole Palmer to club legend Frank Lampard, praising his constant goal threat. Palmer has already scored 44 goals for Chelsea, including 14 this season, and was instrumental in their 2025 Club World Cup triumph. Geremi believes Palmer’s technical quality and attacking instincts make him a game-changing talisman for the Blues.

As the comparisons between Chelsea’s current star Cole Palmer and club legend Frank Lampard continue to grow, former Blues midfielder Geremi has highlighted the qualities that make Palmer such a vital figure. Geremi, who represented Chelsea from 2003 to 2007, believes Palmer shares the same constant goal threat that defined Lampard’s career. Lampard remains Chelsea’s all-time top scorer with 211 goals, an incredible achievement for a midfielder, and while Palmer is still far from that tally, he has already scored 44 goals for the club.

This season alone, Palmer has netted 14 times, cementing his reputation as Chelsea’s attacking talisman. Geremi points out that Lampard was a classic No. 8 who thrived with his box-to-box runs, whereas Palmer brings more technical quality and plays further forward, but both possess that invaluable ability to score at any moment. Palmer’s influence has gone beyond individual statistics.

He was instrumental in Chelsea’s Europa Conference League triumph last season and their Club World Cup victory in the summer of 2025. With clubs like PSG reportedly considering record bids for him, Palmer’s stock continues to rise. Geremi believes that if he maintains fitness and form, Palmer could lead Chelsea to even more silverware in the coming years.
