The 21-year-old’s performances indicate that he is likely to be included in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad and may even compete for a starting position in the tournament. Chelsea is reported to be in no hurry to finalize a deal but plans to initiate discussions with the player’s representatives, CAA Base, before the Euros. The question is raised about whether Cole Palmer should be one of Chelsea’s top earners, given his status as the top scorer. It is suggested that he may need to focus on different aspects compared to before, with an emphasis on managing factors such as preparation, rest, sleep, and energy expenditure.
The experience of managing the transition of a young player into a star is acknowledged and the need for the player to learn from the different experiences that come with this change is emphasized. In other news, Chelsea, following their substantial spending in the past 18 months, are aiming to reduce their wage bill this summer by offloading players such as Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr, Romelu Lukaku, and Kepa Arizzabalaga.
