Morgan Rogers admits there is one Chelsea player more skilful than him
New Chelsea signing Morgan Rogers has impressed greatly since his club-record move, however still doesn’t think he is the most skilful player at Stamford Bridge.
While new Blues players have previously struggled in front of goal after joining, Rogers has not had this kind of issue. He has three Premier League goals in the first five games of the season.
A number of his assists have come off the back of nice pieces of skill, making him a weapon out wide that Chelsea fans haven’t seen the likes of since Eden Hazard.
Morgan Rogers admits one Chelsea player is more skilful than him
Despite clearly being one of the most skilled players in the country, Rogers will not yet personally take the crown as most skilful player at the club.
In a TikTok with the Premier League, Rogers named best friend Cole Palmer for this accolade, with it clearly being a tough choice between the two for the crown.
One former player who would know all too well about this side of the game is Dimitar Berbatov, and the striker named Palmer as the player with the best first touch in the league.

He has also enjoyed a remarkable individual start to the season, and is looking like he is enjoying his football again now his best friend is at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer caused some worry when he pulled out of the England squad for the upcoming international break. He was set to represent his country alongside Rogers in the Nations League over the next two weeks.
It was claimed Palmer was disappointed at the decision, after he earned himself a call-up back to Thomas Tuchel’s side following his absence at the 2026 World Cup.
This has been done to protect his fitness though, with Chelsea aware how much they suffered when he was not at his best due to injury woes.
The lack of defensive capabilities for the Blues has seen them rely on their frontline to bail them out this season, and overall it was the right decision to make to protect their own fortunes.
