Shocked C. Palmer responds to T. Sherwood's criticism © PA

Cole Palmer has become the leader of London's "Chelsea," and the attention that comes with being the leader of such a popular team is inevitable.

After a match in which the attacking midfielder led the "Chelsea" team to a 3-2 victory over "Newcastle," Tim Sherwood made an interesting comment, stating that the "aristocrats" need better players around Palmer.

The former "Tottenham" coach told the Englishman straight to his face: "You just need better players. I know you can't say it, but I can. You need more quality around you. I think the coach should build the game around you, around your quality. Let's hope that happens in the upcoming transfer windows."

Palmer was somewhat shocked, but he had his response: "There is plenty of quality, and I'm not just talking about myself, but others as well. Hopefully we will come together in the near future."
