Cole Palmer is nothing less than a revelation on Chelsea, but that did not stop his future in the long term at the club that is being questioned.
The 22-year-old has flourished in one of the most exciting stars of European football since his move from Manchester City in 2023, and Chelsea fans are understandably in love with him. Because of their success on the field and the financial force, the blues have rarely made themselves that their top players are being pinched.
However, if they do not quickly recover as title candidates, rival clubs can feel a chance to prove players such as Palmer from Stamford Bridge. That said, former Chelsea and city star Shaun Wright-Phillips say that there will soon be “no chance” on a Palmer room.
“Even if Chelsea misses the Champions League, there is no chance that Cole Palmer will leave,” the 43-year-old told Betvictor. “I think he has found his house and Chelsea will do everything to keep him for as long as possible.”
He also stated that a farewell to ways would be “a big mistake” for both players and club. “If they let him go, it would be a big mistake on their behalf,” Wright-Phillips added.
“At his age and with his quality, he is the player that they should build the team. If they can give him as much freedom as possible in the future and so little work to do defensively, then he will only get better.”
Chelsea has a good chance to qualify this season for the Champions League under Enzo Maresca, while they are fourth in the table in the Premier League trip from Friday evening to Brighton – less than a week after they get out of the FA Cup there were dumped after a 2-1 loss.
Just like Palmer, Wright-Phillips came to Chelsea from City in his early 1920s. He won the Premier League and the FA Cup in his first two seasons in West London, but was largely struggling for shape and playing time.
The departure of Arjen Robben in 2007 Wright-Phillips pushed the pecking order, but that did not stop him from grabbing the chance to return to the city in 2008. During his three -year term of office at Stamford Bridge, he made 125 performances and walked up and walked up and ran 125 10 goals.
In 2020 Wright-Phillips known to Fourfourtwo that he was “emotionally broken” after his move to Chelsea, after he intended to spend his entire career in the city. “Chelsea made an offer for me and City said they accepted it. I took it as:” Ok, of course you don't want me in the club anymore, “he revealed.
“On the way to London I cried like I was 12. I cried for an hour – I was emotionally broken. A few months later I discovered the truth behind what happened: City had no choice but to sell me because they were possible on The point to go into administration or something in that sense. “
He added: “Chelsea was a new chapter in my life. I thought it was great there and the supporters were enormous with me. I had some difficult times, but they always cheered for me.”
Palmer, who dedicated to Manchester City for 13 years, had never presented the club. With limited playing time at Etihad and without loan options on the table, he felt forced to take a step.
'I didn't even go [to] Chelsea. I was persuaded: “Palmer told GQ last November.” I just knew I wouldn't play as much as I wanted. Even when I went to England [camps] With younger age groups you had players who played in the competition every week. And you look around to think around, I can play in the competition. If you don't play, it's annoying. “
And in a candid chat with Sky Sports Back last March, Palmer opened – whose current contract until 2033 after an extension in August – opened about his decision to join the blues and said: “I thought I was ready to play football week to play in, week out and that is the reason [I joined Chelsea].
“I just wanted to show my assets and luckily it paid off. It was a very difficult decision to leave the city, I was there since six years old. I was ready to play football, had a chat with my family, Had a chat with the club and moved to Chelsea. “
