Chelsea Football Club considers Cole Palmer an important asset amid reported interest from Manchester United. The England international’s situation at Stamford Bridge remains a focal point for fans and analysts alike.
Palmer’s Status at Chelsea
Chelsea has deemed Cole Palmer “untouchable” as they look to secure their future with the talented forward. Though there were recent rumors suggesting that Palmer was feeling unsettled in London and could be interested in a move back to Manchester, Chelsea maintains confidence that he is happy at the club.
Current Season Performance
Palmer’s season has been interrupted by injuries, including issues with his groin, toe, and thigh, which caused him to miss Chelsea’s recent victory over Crystal Palace. However, he has returned to training in anticipation of their upcoming Champions League match against Napoli.
- Palmer has not registered any assists in the Premier League this season but has found the net four times in 12 league appearances.
- In contrast, last season, he had a more prolific output with 15 goals and 11 assists across 46 appearances.
