Chelsea captain Reece James has opened up on the future of Cole Palmer, and claimed that the shock Manchester United target is fully committed to the club and has no intention of departing Stamford Bridge in the coming windows.
Signed from Man City just a few seasons ago, Palmer has developed into one of the most creative players that CHELSEA have in the squad, and a man that has already shipped over 80 goals for the Blues in his first few seasons with the club.
However – this season he has really struggled with injuries and getting back to his very best, and despite being one of the clubs best players, there has been alot of transfer speculation in the media that he is not happy in London and would like to make that return back to Manchester.
WHAT HAS JAMES SAID ON COLE PALMER?
Captain James, who has also been linked with a move away from the club, has opened up and told Blues fans that Palmer is s fully committed to the club, which will be music to alot of worried Blues fans – Speaking in the mixed zone after the Blues’ win over Napoli, James said: “He’s been in a difficult period. He’s had a few setbacks, it’s been slow for him this season, but we’re super happy to have him.
“He showed what he can do today in the 45 minutes that he played. Everyone needs to be patient with him. He’s an amazing player, he’s still super young. He’s going to improve with time.
“Of course he’s committed to Chelsea. He’s a Chelsea player and many players have speculation in transfer windows, it’s normal, but he’s conducted himself really well and we’re happy with him.”
WILL COLE PLAMER LEAVE CHELSEA?
A long contract that lasts until 2029, a nice massive wage to keep him happy for a few years, a big chance of winning trophies with Chelsea under Liam Rosenior, there will be no harm in Palmer staying to see what happens over the next 12 months or so.
There will always be rumours about the big players at a club like CHELSEA, especially the longer they go without winning trophies etc, but Blues fans dont really need to worry as Palmer will not be going anywhere.
Man United are not the force they once werer, they cant pat that £150 million asking price and then give him the kind of money he demands, Chelsea is the right place for him to be at this stage of his career.
