Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the teams keeping close tabs on Cole Palmer ahead of a tricky summer for Chelsea.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are on high alert regarding Cole Palmer should he leave Chelsea. The 21-year-old has had an outstanding season at Stamford Bridge, as the Blues are not expected to entertain offers, although things could rapidly change in the summer.
Top-Six sides tracking Cole Palmer
Chelsea would have spent over a billion pounds over the last two seasons, but they barely got any of their transfer decisions right. Cole Palmer’s £45 million move from Manchester City last summer made sense, and the 21-year-old has had an outstanding season at Stamford Bridge.
He has 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions for the Blues and remains one of their best performers in an otherwise dismal season. Chelsea are on the edge of missing out on European football in concecutive campaigns, which may come to affect the thinking of Palmer.
The 21-year-old Chelsea attacker has big ambitions for his career, especially after spending a few years on the fringes of the Manchester City side. He wishes to make a name for himself, which has led to speculation that he might look to leave for a Champions League-playing side.
Hence, the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool keep constant tabs on his situation at Stamford Bridge. These clubs might pounce at the first chance to sign the young versatile forward, although the prospect of Chelsea selling him is slim to none.
Chelsea are unconcerned about Cole Palmer’s situation
In addition to playing European football, Palmer would also like recognition from a contract perspective, as he’s far from some of the highest-paid players at Chelsea. The other interested clubs might pounce on that opportunity and make him a compelling salary offer should he be moved out of Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are likely to hand him a new deal to fend off suitors and give him the required recognition as one of their main stars. Hence, the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool may not have a chance despite these clubs potentially offering Champions League football next season.
