Cole Palmer made a move to Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023. Back then, it did not look like a move that could have harmed Man City as they were flying left, right and centre.
However, the amazing stats of Cole Palmer in the 2024-25 season prove that fact Pep Guardiola’s side should have made space for him to play and develop in 2023.
Palmer, who made his debut for England in 2023, has scored 14 goals in the PL this season. It is the sixth highest in the 2023/24 English top-flight’s top-scorer race.
Last season, the 22-year-old winger contributed 22 PL goals.
So in just 61 PL outings for the Blues, the England international has scored 36 goals. Last season, he was named the PL Young Player of the Season.
Erling Haaland has netted 21 goals in the PL this season. However, the Norwegian striker is not getting the backing from other players around him on the attacking front at Man City.
It is, perhaps, a key reason behind them fighting for the Champions League spot rather than winning the English top-flight glory.
Manager Pep Guardiola is famous for getting the best out of footballers. And Palmer has worked for Chelsea, who are struggling season after season post-2020.
Having Palmer’s goals might have pushed Man City to stay close to Liverpool, who would most likely win the PL title.
