Cole Palmer left Manchester City in the summer to join Chelsea, where he is getting the game time he wanted at Stamford Bridge.
Eyebrows were raised when Cole Palmer chose Chelsea as the place he was going to get the regular games he wasn't getting at Manchester City.
As it turns out, Chelsea might be a perfect club for Palmer, against all odds and logic, as he has emerged as a regular starter for Mauricio Pochettino at the start of the campaign. Palmer began the season at City with vital goals in the Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup, along with a message to the club that he was still not happy with his playing time.
So far, his gamble has paid off more than City's has in letting him leave. Palmer has already started five games for Chelsea, compared to seven in all competitions across the whole of last season for the Blues. His 'Prem Soon Come' prediction in January 2022 took a long 18 months to come to fruition, but he finally netted his first Premier League goal this month from the spot at Burnley.
Playing in a central number 10 position for Pochettino, Palmer's long-term relationship with Raheem Sterling is helping his swift adaptation at Stamford Bridge. Despite the disappointing result, Palmer was a bright spark in their defeat to Brentford on Saturday. His eye for a lofted ball into the area created a number of chances, and showed a player given freedom to play the risky passes that characterise his game rather than the more possession-based approach of Pep Guardiola.
