Chelsea star Cole Palmer has made a surprising revelation about the toughest defender he’s ever faced. Despite coming up against top names like Virgil van Dijk and Ruben Dias on several occasions, Palmer admitted that no one has given him more trouble than an Arsenal defender — and it’s not Gabriel Magalhães.
Palmer praised this particular Arsenal star as the most dangerous and dominant defender in the Premier League at the moment. His strength, positioning, and aggressive style of play have made him a nightmare for attackers, earning him huge respect from Palmer.
In an even more stunning twist, it’s been reported that Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior — known for his fearless attacking style — is also wary of this Arsenal powerhouse. That speaks volumes about the level this defender is currently operating at.
Palmer’s comments have sparked conversations among fans, with many praising the Arsenal star for finally getting the recognition he deserves. While he didn’t name Gabriel, fans are already buzzing with guesses, with many pointing towards the rock-solid William Saliba.
One thing is clear: Arsenal’s defense, led by this outstanding talent, has become a force to be reckoned with across Europe.
