Liam Rosenior says he has spoken to Cole Palmer about his Chelsea future amid talk of the playmaker being homesick. The 23-year-old grew up in Manchester and reports emerged earlier this week claiming he misses his hometown. However, Blues boss Rosenior insists that the England international is "very happy" at Stamford Bridge and that "every player has problems".
Chelsea icon Marcel Desailly has issued a stark warning to his former club, suggesting that talisman Cole Palmer could sensationally hand in a transfer request if he does not believe the Blues can win the Premier League within the next two seasons. The French World Cup winner has urged the Stamford Bridge hierarchy to establish a stable system built specifically around the England international, while simultaneously calling on Palmer to show "respect" and "humility" to the club's new management.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has explained why Cole Palmer played no part in the Blues’ Champions League win over Pafos. The England international was left out of the matchday squad as the Premier League heavyweights returned to European action at Stamford Bridge. It has been revealed that the talented playmaker was an injury concern, leading to no risks being taken on his fitness.
Cole Palmer has been left out of the Chelsea squad to face Pafos in the Champions League on Wednesday night, with head coach Liam Rosenior explaining why the Blues will have to cope without their talisman at Stamford Bridge. The Blues come into the match in 14th place in the standings but know that a victory will see them firmly in the battle to finish in the top eight.
Cole Palmer's future at Chelsea is under scrutiny amid speculation he does not really enjoy life in London and could be tempted to head back to former club Manchester City in the summer transfer window. Pep Guardiola has been tipped to part company with the Cityzens at the end of the season, potentially paving way for Palmer to make a shock return to the Etihad.
Manchester United are being backed to finally sign boyhood Red Devils fan Cole Palmer if they can lure the Chelsea star’s former manager, Mauricio Pochettino, back to England. A new permanent boss is required at Old Trafford following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim. Various names have been added to that pot, including an Argentine tactician that is currently working with the USMNT.
Cole Palmer's new girlfriend watched the Chelsea star at Stamford Bridge in their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. Olivia Holder was at the Blues' home ground on Saturday, in a game where the England international was hooked for the final 20 minutes. This comes days after their incognito date at Winter Wonderland but the Christmas cheer was thin on the ground in west London after this defeat.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca opened up on Cole Palmer's furious reaction to his substitution as the Blues went down 2-1 to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday. Chelsea failed to hold on to their lead from the first half as Ollie Watkins scored a brace to seal the Villans' record-breaking 11th consecutive victory across all competitions in the 2025-26 campaign.
Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on James McAtee ahead of the January transfer window, despite the midfielder having become an outcast at Nottingham Forest following his summer move from Manchester City. The former England Under-21 international is being monitored by Blues head coach Enzo Maresca, with the pair having worked together in the past.
Chelsea threw away a commanding position as Aston Villa stretched their winning run to 11 games, thanks to an Ollie Watkins brace in a 2-1 comeback win. Joao Pedro put the Blues into a deserved first-half lead but a wretched second half from Enzo Maresca's side put paid to their faint Premier League title ambitions as Watkins stole the show on Saturday night.
Cole Palmer has been advised not to look too far ahead at Chelsea, with Blues legend Frank Leboeuf telling GOAL that the England international has only enjoyed a “two-year career”. It has been suggested that the talented playmaker could one day attract interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but he has been told to focus on maximising the potential of both himself and his trophy-hungry colleagues at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has revealed the reason he wouldn't swap Cole Palmer for Morgan Rogers ahead of Aston Villa's Boxing Day clash at Stamford Bridge. Unai Emery's side make the trip to the capital in a bid to extend their winning run to eight matches following their 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Villa Park last weekend, a result that keeps the Villans in the title race.
Premier League legend Emile Heskey has warned England’s established stars that Morgan Rogers is fast becoming impossible to ignore ahead of the 2026 World Cup. After a blistering festive run for Aston Villa, the in-form midfielder has been tipped to force his way into Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI, putting serious pressure on the likes of Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer.
Morgan Rogers has insisted he is doing all he can to keep his England place, with Thomas Tuchel's squad boasting a 'heap of quality'. The attacking midfielder continued his fine 2025-26 season on Sunday with a superb match-winning brace in Aston Villa's 2-1 triumph at home to Manchester United, taking his tally of Premier League goals to seven for the campaign.
