Reece James believes Cole Palmer is already one of the best players in the world, but the young superstar is not so sure about that just yet.<\/p>\n

The Blues won a memorable game at Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, taking an early lead, then falling behind but bouncing back to win 3-2 at the City Ground.<\/p>\n

Palmer did not get on the scoresheet, but he did provide a brilliant assist for Mykhailo Mudryk\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n

James also provided an assist as he came off the bench to make his first Premier League appearance since December, finally recovered from a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

The full-back was thrilled to be back in the action and had a special word for Palmer who is enjoying a stunning first season with Chelsea, netting 21 Premier League goals.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s been a long wait for me so I\u2019m happy to come back into the team,\u2019 James told Sky Sports. \u2018We learn every day, we\u2019re still young but we are improving and we\u2019re coming strong at the end of the season. <\/p>\n

\u2018Cole Palmer is one of the best in the world, I think personally. At [Manchester] City he didn\u2019t play as much as he would like but he has come here and taken the chance with both hands.<\/p>\n

\u2018Slowly but surely we are finding our feet and reaching a level.\u2019<\/p>\n

Presented with quite a hefty claim about his talents, Palmer wasn\u2019t convinced, saying: \u2018I wouldn\u2019t go that far! But it\u2019s nice to hear. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s all new to me. This is my first season playing properly in the league. It was a very important win and now we focus on the next one.\u2019<\/p>\n

The victory in Nottingham leaves Chelsea seventh, but only behind Newcastle in sixth on goal difference as their push for European football gathers pace thanks to three wins on the spin.<\/p>\n

On their late bid for a Europa League spot, manager Mauricio Pochettino said: \u2018I hope yes, but there are still two big games.\u2019<\/p>\n
