According to TBR, Cole Palmer is not thinking about a new challenge at the moment and is only concerned about improving his form at Chelsea. The attacker has come in for heavy criticism for his displays for the Blues, with recent reports linking him to Liverpool and Manchester United further fueling speculation surrounding his future.
Cole Palmer continued to struggle on the pitch for Chelsea as he drew another blank in the narrow 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday. The attacker was a revelation last season since moving from Manchester City in a deal close to 40 million.
This season he has 14 goals to his name but has not found the back of the net in 12 games running now. There are some concerns regarding his form, while some links to other top clubs have not helped Chelsea fans feel relaxed about the situation.
Liverpool and Manchester United were linked lately, with either of those clubs willing to invest if Chelsea indicates a willingness to sell Palmer. However, the player is not bothered by those links, as he’s focused on improving his form for Chelsea in the coming period. He’s focused on getting back to his best and performing at levels that saw him linked to the likes of Real Madrid just a few months ago.
Chelsea are relaxed about Palmer’s future, with the player tied to Stamford Bridge until 2033, which does make him a difficult target to achieve for suitors. The Blues will demand a massive fee to sell him in any case, which may not be affordable for Liverpool and certainly for Manchester United given the latter’s recent financial standing.
Media speculation is beyond the control of any club or their players, as performing stars will always be linked to bigger clubs. In Chelsea’s case, Palmer remains their most important player, and they are not eager to consider any approaches coming in for the attacker.
Their strategy to offer their stars long-term deals will help Chelsea in their quest to keep the best players. There will be doubts about Palmer’s situation if Chelsea fails to make it into the top five this summer, but the Blues are unlikely to consider selling him irrespective of what happens.
