'He is the best player in the world!' - Pundit wowed by in-form Cole Palmer as he claims Chelsea star is 'levels above' Arsenal's Bukayo Saka

Palmer has arguably been the best player in the Premier League this season alongside Erling Haaland as the England star has scored six goals and provided four assists in six Premier League matches. However, Palmer's form has not been isolated to this season, as he scored 25 goals in all competitions.

O'Hara has now brought up a comparison between Palmer and Arsenal's Saka which has been a very common debate between Premier League and Three Lions fans. The former Wolves and Spurs midfielder has now claimed that players like Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Palmer play at a much higher level than Saka and also claimed that the Gunners star "isn't world class".

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, O'Hara said: "Bukayo Saka isn't world class. He’s a great player in a very good team, but I look at guys like Cole Palmer and Lamine Yamal, who in my opinion are world-class players. They're a level above Saka – it's as simple as that.

"Yamal looks set to be the star man at Barcelona for the coming years and you know they’ll win trophies with him; so I’d have him over Saka for starters. Palmer also looks like the best player in the Premier League, which means you can argue that he is the best player in the world.

"I might be getting carried away there, but Palmer looks like he can do anything on a football pitch, nothing fazes him at all. As I said, Saka is a great player, but Palmer is another level."

The England duo will now meet up at Three Lions camp next week as England prepare for Nations League clashes with Greece and Finland. Before that though both Saka and Palmer will have to help their club sides deal with Southampton and Nottingham Forest, respectively.
