Former Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas has implored Chelsea and Arsenal fans to stop the endless comparisons between Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka.
Palmer and Saka are constantly compared by supporters on social media because of their age, left-footedness and goals.

Earlier this week, Palmer was named England’s Player of the Year, an award Saka had won two years in a row.
Fabregas, who played for the two London rivals, took to X on Sunday to debunk fake quotes attributed to him.
He wrote: “The danger of social media is people really believe anything they read. No need to compare players. England are lucky to have 2 amazing talents, just enjoy them!”
In other news, the newly instated United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino has hailed AC Milan’s American winger Christian Pulisic as one of the best forwards in the world but has warned he may need to limit his workload.
Pochettino will take charge of the USA for the first time on Saturday in Austin when his team take on Panama in a friendly.
The Argentine will then take his team to Mexico for a friendly in Guadalajara on Tuesday to conclude his first window since being appointed to replace Gregg Berhalter.
Pulisic, who made his debut for his country as a 17-year-old, has amassed 73 caps by the age of 26 and is enjoying a rich run of form with his club in Serie A.
The former Dortmund and Chelsea winger has featured in all seven Serie A games for Milan, scoring five goals and has two Champions League appearances, scoring against Liverpool.
Pochettino did not hold back in his assessment of Pulisic’s talent.
“(He’s) a great player, fantastic player, a player that I think is going to help now and in the future to put the team in a place that we want, I think he is a fantastic player, one of the best offensive players in the world,” he said.
But the former Tottenham manager suggested Pulisic’s workload may need to be carefully managed.
