Cole Palmer has come out and claimed that he was told to not join Chelsea after making the decision to leave Manchester City just a few seasons ago.
The highly talented 22-year-old attacking midfielder, has rapidly made a name for himself at CHELSEA since his move from Manchester City in 2023 and is the man at Stamford Bridge that Enzo Maresca will really rely on over the next 12 months.
He has recently signed a massive new contract at Chelsea – but Whether he actually stays at Chelsea for a decade remains to be seen – but the player has now come out and claimed that he was told to not make the move to the Blues
While on international duty for England, Palmer told ITV Sport: “How do I look back on leaving Man City? Yeah, it was a gamble because I didn’t know what I was going into, I didn’t know the club I was going into.
“I had people telling me, don’t go here, don’t go there. But I just decided what I wanted to do myself and did it.
“To move clubs, it changed my life. In many different ways, leaving Manchester where I grew up, getting away from people I didn’t need to be around. And the football as well obviously.”
That massive new contract that Palmer has just signed means that Chelsea do not have to sell the midfielder – and we fully expect him to stay at the Bridge for the next few seasons – but all we can say is that Chelsea were very lucky to get the player – he is surely now one of the best attacking stars in the Premier League.
