Vine: Chelsea youngster scores cheeky Zlatan-esque backheel volley

The English Zlatan?

Ben Kiely

Kasey Palmer, remember the name

The 18-year-old Chelsea hot prospect has scored yet another stunning goal for the Blues’ u-21 side.

The England u-18 international channeled his inner Zlatan to provide a cheeky finish at the end of a wonderfully weighted lofted cross. He turned the ball into the net with a delicate backheel-flick volley during Chelsea’s 3-1 win over West Ham’s youth side.

The result sent Chelsea top of the Barclays u-21 Premier League on goal difference.

This isn’t the first time the English youth player has produced a cracker for his club. Check out this great highlight reel of Palmer’s wondergoals during his tenure at the London outfit.

It’s quite an impressive selection for someone who wasn’t even alive when the Premier League was launched.
