A memorable debut season for Cole Palmer has Boehly delivering golden praises about his impact on the Blues. As the season is nearing closure, Palmer has 24 goals and 13 assists in 42 appearances so far.

Boehly also spoke about how the Premier League can boost its popularity in the US

“You have to make it relevant to them (young people),” Boehly said. “And I think the sport is becoming more and more relevant.

“The fan fests that the Premier League do from city to city, you see them, it only builds momentum. Hopefully, (Chelsea midfielder) Cole Palmer will become a household name (here) soon. He’s been a phenomenon for us and so we’re thinking hard about how we continue to expand our brand in the United States. That’s ultimately a priority as well.
