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.

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

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.

Keir Starmer declares war on benefits Britain: Prime Minister vows to crack down on £137billion welfare ‘blight’

Sir Keir Starmer today pledges to crack down hard on the ‘bulging benefits bill blighting our society’ as he tries to steal the Tories’ political clothes over abuses of the welfare system. The Prime Minister uses an article in today’s Mail on Sunday to promise ‘sweeping changes’ to try to tame the £137 billion bill for welfare benefits – including a blitz on cheats and those who ‘game the system’ – vowing: ‘No more business as usual.’ His most hardline comments yet on the issue come as Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall prepares to announce a package of legislation on Tuesday to ‘get Britain working’, after officials forecast that more than four million people will be claiming long-term sickness benefits by 2030 – 60 per cent higher than before the pandemic.
