The1905.Club Summary

Cole Palmer has been a standout performer for Chelsea since his £42.5m move from Manchester City, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s top talents. However, Chelsea’s over-reliance on the 22-year-old has been exposed during his recent dip in form. With the club struggling to secure Champions League football, questions have emerged over whether Palmer could be tempted away.

Former Premier League forward Dwight Yorke believes that, among Chelsea’s rivals, only Liverpool would be a realistic option for Palmer—provided Salah leaves the club. He dismissed potential moves to Arsenal and Manchester United due to competition for his position and his past ties with City. Yorke also suggested that missing out on Champions League qualification for another season could become a problem for Palmer, potentially pushing him to consider his future at Chelsea.
