Cole Palmer was the star in Chelsea Ever since he joined the club from Manchester City in the Summer Transition Window 2023/24. The 22-year-old has performed 73 appearances from joining the London clubscoring 39 goals, providing 21 assists and a total of 5,949 minutes played.
And under Mauricio Pochettino and now Enzo MarescaPalmer was used in several different ways, playing as a right -hander, a central offensive midfielder, and even a false nine.
In just 18 months, England International went out of € 18 million (£ 14.9 million) Assessment of the Academyon 130 million euros (£ 108.1 million) a valued superstar, according to Transfermardtseen as one of the best players in the world.
Cole Palmer’s record in Chelsea
When Palmer first made his way to Chelsea, Pochettino used it as a right wing, pushing himself inside to occupy the space in the right half, and slightly thickly overlap to secure the width, forming a good relationship between the two.
However, under Pochettin, Chelsea often got a lot more space on the ball, dealing with more chaotic games for games, which often leads to very open games, such as their 4-4 draws with Manchester City.
Under Marec, the teams decided to double on Palmer often, the man marked him and left him with less space to work. Teams with more than one primary offensive threats are harder to double because they will often leave a spare man elsewhere.
And Chelsea already had a “generation” star – as Greeted talent scout Jacek Kulig – At trial at a club in the past, which could have been the perfect partner for Palmer, making the English harder to stop.
Trial Kylian Mbappe in Chelsea
Kylian Mbappé discovered that he once had a trial In Chelsea when he was 10 or 11 years old, he spent just under a week in London, training with Blues and playing in one game against Charlton Athletic:
“Then I was young, maybe 10 or 11. I went to London and spent just under a week there. I trained in Chelsea and played a friendly match against Charlton Athletic.
“We won 6-0 or 7-0. I played in advance, but I don’t think I scored a hit. It was great – it was my first experience abroad and a chance to see what the game in England was like. “
Chelsea obviously did not continue to sign a young Frenchman at the time, who is now playing for Real Madrid, and is worth around € 160 million (£ 133 million) according to Transfermarttu – Putting it even in front of Palmer.

Palmer and Mbappe, while both of them are two of the best players in the world, have very different styles of play, with the first progressing more in deeper zones, using their creative quality of passing before arriving in the box, while the latter has a glittering pace, can stretch the opposition defense and carry the ball at speed, with ease to beat his man in 1V1 situations.
The Real Madrid star initially fought, distributed as an auxiliary striker, with Vinicius Junior playing in his favorite left -wing role, but as time went on, the French settled well and connected with their teammates, getting the best of the best of all, Let’s make 36 appearancesAchieving 24 goals and a three assists.
You can never say that Mbappé would become the same player to join Chelsea at the age of 10 or 11, but the chances that Palmer and Mbappé play together are in the mouth, because the duo would perfectly compliment each other.
