Cole Palmer leaving Chelsea?
Chelsea are optimistic that Cole Palmer is not facing a spell on the sidelines, despite his withdrawal from the England squad.
Cole Palmer ranks second after a scintillating first season at Chelsea after moving from Manchester City. The 22-year-old was a revelation with 22 goals and 11 assists in 24 Premier League games.
Man City have already been burned by selling Chelsea one of their players. Cole Palmer joined the West London club last season and become one of the standout players for them. The 22-year-old scored 25 goals in all competitions last term and was even a nominee for the Premier League Player of the Season.
Palmer enjoyed a sensational debut campaign after moving to Chelsea from Man City and he enjoyed the biggest market value rise across the Premier League season. Palmer provided 33 goal contributions in 34 league games for Chelsea and he finished second in the golden boot race behind Haaland. Only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe had more goal contributions than Palmer across the top five leagues and the 22-year-old was arguably the best player in the Premier League.
Cole Palmer, a 21-year-old midfielder for Chelsea, has already won an FA Cup, a Carabao Cup, two Premier League titles, a Champions League title, a European Super Cup, and an U21 European Championship. Manchester City missed out on him only because he was paid 47 million euros, but no one can dispute his qualities. Many have nicknamed him Cold Palmer because he's icy from the penalty spot: 13 penalties taken, 13 goals. He has the ability to make a difference in complex situations, the desire to shoulder the weight of his team, and the personality to leave a club that had just won the Treble to find more space elsewhere.
One of the true revelations of this Premier League season - Cole Palmer. After leaving Man City in pursuit of more regular game time, the young Englishmen has hit the ground running in West London. Not many expected him to have such an instant impact at Chelsea, but Palmer now has 20 league goals, and sits just one behind the leader. Two recent hat-tricks against Manchester United and Everton have seen him propelled up the leaderboard. Penalties have also been a huge factor, with Palmer scoring nine in the league this season - four more than any other player.
Cole Palmer is arguably the only successful summer transfer for Chelsea. He was a £40 million arrival from Manchester City and has matched Erling Haaland for a league-leading 20 goals.
Cole Palmer, aged 21, made a successful move from Manchester City to Chelsea last summer. He has been performing exceptionally well in London, with 23 goals and 13 assists in 38 appearances across all competitions. His excellent performance has earned him a call to the national team. However, his former coach, Pep Guardiola, expressed regret over his departure, stating he wasn't able to give him the minutes he deserved at Manchester City, but is now getting at Chelsea. Despite Guardiola's desire for him to stay, Palmer chose to leave.
Cole Palmer, a player born in 2002, has been shining with Chelsea after growing up in the youth ranks of Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has commented on Palmer's exceptional performance and admitted that he didn't give him enough playing time, which Palmer has now obtained at Chelsea. Palmer was close to staying at Manchester City, but he insisted on leaving. Despite Guardiola's attempts to convince him to stay, especially after Mahrez's departure, Palmer had been asking to leave for two seasons. Palmer, now 21, has made 41 appearances this season with 25 goals and 13 assists. His market value has skyrocketed to 55 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
Cole Palmer, who is well-liked by Pep Guardiola and was previously under his command, was sold last summer for about 50 million euros. He is an exceptional player, as we knew when he was here. I have said it many times, I did not give him the minutes, perhaps he deserved them and now he has them at Chelsea. He is a shy guy with a lot of potential. He is what he is. He is playing fantastically well.
Chelsea's Cole Palmer has been making headlines with his performance. However, recent on-field commotion and dressing room problems might put pressure on Chelsea's ability to keep him. Despite having a seven-year contract that the club can extend to eight, there are implications that Chelsea might have to work hard to keep Palmer due to internal issues.
