Cole Palmer has spoken about his move to Chelsea, saying that he is excited to be part of the project and that he feels like he can make an impact at the club.
The 21-year-old midfielder joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £45 million deal last week. He had been with City since the age of eight and had made 16 appearances for the first team, but he was not getting the regular playing time he wanted.
Palmer told the Daily Mail: “Chelsea explained the project to me and I liked it. I feel like I can have an impact there. I’m excited to get started and I can’t wait to meet my new teammates.”
Palmer is a versatile player who can play in a number of positions in midfield. He is known for his creativity and dribbling skills, and he is also a good passer and goalscorer.
He will be hoping to break into the Chelsea first team this season and help the club challenge for silverware.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of Palmer and he is confident that the player can have a successful career at the club.
Tuchel said: “Cole is a very talented young player with a lot of potential. He is versatile and can play in a number of positions. I’m excited to work with him and help him develop his game.”
Palmer’s move to Chelsea is a sign of the club’s ambition. The Blues are looking to build a young and talented squad that can challenge for the Premier League title and the Champions League in the years to come.
Palmer is a key part of that plan and he will be hoping to make a big impact at Chelsea in the years to come.
