Mauricio Pochettino’s satisfaction with Cole Palmer’s impact at Chelsea is evident, especially after the young midfielder’s stellar performance against Newcastle. Palmer’s contribution of a goal and an assist was crucial in Chelsea’s 3-2 victory.
His impressive season tally now stands at 11 goals and eight assists in 23 Premier League appearances, making him a standout player since his transfer from Manchester City. It’s clear that Pochettino values Palmer’s role in the team, and his happiness with the player’s progress is a testament to Palmer’s importance to Chelsea’s campaign.
“I’m really happy with Cole Palmer. He’s doing fantastic and getting more mature every day.” Pochettino has said about the youngster via Fabrizio Romano.
“You can see his quality, he can help us a lot.”
Cole Palmer’s remarkable season with Chelsea has certainly put him in the spotlight for potential selection in England’s squad. His contributions of 11 goals and eight assists in 23 Premier League matches have not only caught the eye of his club manager Mauricio Pochettino but also England’s Gareth Southgate.
With England set to face Brazil on March 23 and Belgium on March 26 in friendly matches, these games are seen as a precursor to Southgate’s selections for Euro 2024. Palmer, who has already made his England debut last November, stands a strong chance of being included in the squad for these friendlies and potentially for the Euros, which would indeed be a significant accolade following his impressive performances.
The squad announcement for the friendlies will be a clear indicator of Southgate’s plans for the Euro 2024 squad, and with Palmer’s current form, he is almost certain to be considered. His inclusion would be a testament to his development and impact at Chelsea, marking a successful transition since his move from Manchester City.
