“I have no idea why they sold him” – Chelsea need another one more man like him in attack to reach next level
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The acquisition of Cole Palmer on deadline day initially appeared to be a luxury signing to many, but his consistently high level of performance has elevated him to become Chelsea’s most crucial attacker, especially in the absence of Christopher Nkunku.
In the recent game, Chelsea appeared to lack dynamism in their ball movement, and it was Palmer who injected vitality into the team. His ability to take on opponents and make daring passes created problems for the opposition. In contrast, Raheem Sterling, on the other flank, made fewer contributions, which, in turn, made it more challenging for Nicolas Jackson to find the space to influence the game.
I have no idea why Man City sold Cole Palmer to us for only £40m. What a player.

While Sterling has scored crucial goals and made significant attacking contributions in several games this season, there is a sense that his level of intensity may have diminished, especially when compared to the energy and risk-taking attitude displayed by Palmer. The need for a player who consistently takes risks and works hard on the flank, akin to Palmer’s contributions on his side, is evident if Chelsea aims to trouble deep-lying defenses.
