Lamine Yamal is becoming more famous day by day and is solidifying his position as one of the best—or according to many footballers—the best player in the world right now.

The young Barcelona phenomenon surprises everyone with his raw talent every time he steps onto the pitch. In recent days, we have seen praise from David Villa, Simone Inzaghi, and Bukayo Saka, and today it was Chelsea’s young star Cole Palmer who praised Lamine Yamal.

Palmer, who spoke to Sky Sports, said: “If you ask me, Lamine Yamal is currently the best footballer in the world. What Lamine does on the pitch is something else. I enjoy watching his games.”

When asked about the dramatic Champions League semi-final and Yamal’s performance against Inter, Palmer said: “Yes, you saw in such a game, which is tough and difficult even for many experienced players, Yamal was still the best. So it’s not just about technique; Lamine is incredibly mature mentally. His confidence is insane, and despite his young age, he doesn’t know fear.”
