The Cole Palmer case is tense at Chelsea. Too regularly injured and tired of this situation, the club’s top scorer last season would also be homesick in London. He would like to return to Manchester, having grown up nearby, in Wythenshawe, before being trained at City. Manchester United would even open their arms wide to him, while it was still unthinkable to see him leave the Blues only six months ago, after the victory in the Club World Cup final against PSG (3-0), where he had shone.
However, his statistics are far from being in free fall with 5 goals in 13 games, including 10 as a starter. But let everyone rest assured, at Chelsea, there was never any question of Palmer leaving, nor even of any depression. It remains essential to Rosenior’s game plan, who has already been able to line it up once against Brentford where he scored. “ Yes and yes, it’s simple “, retorts the technician at a press conference when asked if the England international is “ untouchable ” And ” happy at the club “.
Rosenior: “some seek to sow discord»
He takes the opportunity to provide a broad focus on the subject. “ Cole is an incredible player, as is Moises (Caicedo) who is sitting next to me and a lot of other players in the group. The timing doesn’t surprise me. A new manager arrives and suddenly, some people are looking to sow discord. This is not true. Cole is here, he is very happy and we are all looking forward to seeing him on the pitch », assures the new Chelsea coach, affirming that the latest news about the 8th to the last Ballon d’Or is completely unfounded.
“ It comes out of nowhere, there is nothing concrete. There’s no reason to discuss it, that’s where I’m atcontinues Rosenior, while Palmer should be available for the trip to Naples in the Champions League tomorrow. Cole is very happy. We’ve had lots of conversations with him about how we can improve this team, how he can improve and how I can help him – because he loves being here and he wants to be a Chelsea player. You can’t stop speculation, but some speculation is so far from the truth that there’s no point in discussing it. » Including act.
