Cole Palmer thriving at Chelsea, but facing club struggles

Cole Palmer has become a key player for Chelsea since joining the club in 2023. He has scored 39 goals and provided 21 assists in 78 games, making him the team's best player. His strong performances have also earned him a spot on the England national team. Pundits Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes believe Palmer is too talented for Chelsea, especially as the club struggles to compete at the highest level. While Chelsea has a strong history in the Premier League, they are currently fighting for a Champions League spot. Carragher compared Palmer's situation to that of Steven Gerrard, suggesting he might want to leave Chelsea for a better opportunity. Palmer signed a contract that lasts until 2033, so leaving the club could be difficult. Scholes mentioned that Palmer may need more challenges as he is currently performing at a level higher than the rest of his team. Palmer missed a recent game against Arsenal due to fitness concerns and has been replaced in the England squad.
