He was going to be the new star of Manchester City, now he shines at Chelsea

Manchester City is going through a different moment at the start of the season. Pep Guardiola's team has just won everything in the most recent season, but it has been a difficult start, to say the least. In the summer transfer market, he suffered important departures, such as that of his former captain or that of winger Riyad Mahrez. However, one of the most surprising was the departure of a talent from his quarry and who went to a direct rival in the English league. Now, he shines in a major way.

Cole Palmer is the new promise of English football. At only 21 years old, he is being one of the key players in the London team's last games: 1 goal and two assists in his last 3 starts. The former Manchester City player was destined to succeed under the orders of Pep Guardiola, but at the close of the market, everything went wrong: he signed for Chelsea for 42.5 million pounds (50 million euros).

Attacking midfielder, Cole Palmer, went through all the stages at the Academy until becoming captain of the under-18 team in the 2019/20 season. His performance made Pep call him up with the first team and he gained many playing minutes during 2022/23, especially in FA Cup matches. In short, a player who little by little gained momentum to be able to perform in the future, but it was not so

Pochettino and what he says about Cole Palmer's level

Pocchetino has given him the start in the last 3 games, both on the wing and as a defender. The player's performance has surprised everyone, even the Argentine coach himself: "Cole Palmer surprised me when I arrived because it was the day before the transfer market closed, the way he reads situations and games... .wow". “He can be the player who can bond with his teammates, he has a great personality and great talent,” he said after the game.
