PAUL MERSON reckons the new Dennis Bergkamp is lighting up the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Merse, 55, played with the legendary Dutchman for two years at Arsenal from 1995 to 1997.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

So he witnessed Bergkamp's incredible technical ability first-hand.<\/p>\n

Now he sees similarities with Chelsea's new \u00a342.5million versatile forward.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer has earned plenty of plaudits for his performances since arriving from Manchester City and shone in the recent 2-2 draw with Arsenal. <\/p>\n

And it is the way he can unpick defences that has particularly impressed Merson.<\/p>\n

The Sky Sports pundit said: "When [Chelsea] face teams who don\u2019t give them any space, they\u2019ve only got Cole Palmer who can break anybody down.<\/p>\n

"He was outstanding the other day [against Brentford]. <\/p>\n

"He was like the Dennis Bergkamp of Arsenal for Chelsea, the amount of opportunities he made."<\/p>\n

Palmer, 21, came through the youth ranks at the Etihad but, with first-team opportunities limited, made the shock switch to Chelsea in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

It has not all been plain sailing off the pitch for Palmer, who admitted he needed help to use a washing machine in his new place in London. <\/p>\n

However, on the pitch, he has been a sensation.<\/p>\n

The England Under-21 star, who can play in various attacking roles, has chipped in with two goals and three assists for his new team.<\/p>\n

One of those goals came when he slotted a penalty away against the Gunners after rowing with Raheem Sterling to take it. <\/p>\n

And he will be hopeful he can make a splash again on Monday when Chelsea travel across the capital to face high-flying Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Merson, though, believes Mauricio Pochettino's men can spring a surprise against his former team – despite their completely different fortunes so far this season – and Palmer could be key.<\/p>\n

'DIFFERENT CLASS'<\/h2>\n

Chelsea are slumped down in 11th with four defeats from ten matches while unbeaten Spurs top the table by two points.<\/p>\n

Merson added: "Against both Liverpool and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were the better side in both games. <\/p>\n

"Both teams had a go at Chelsea and that\u2019s why I feel the trip to Tottenham could be perfect for Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s game on for the Blues on Monday night. There is no question that Spurs will have a go at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

"He was brilliant against Arsenal and if he can reach that level again, he\u2019ll cause Spurs problems on the break. <\/p>\n

"Cole Palmer brings the guile and he was different class in the first half against Brentford.<\/p>\n
