During the last transfer window, several players moved from one team to another. Some were expected, and a few turned out to be complete surprises. One of the unexpected transfers was Cole Palmer to Chelsea from Manchester City.
Manchester City had an unbreakable season and won multiple titles. On the other hand, Chelsea ended up in the middle of the league without a trophy in their cabinet. It was unexpected, and Chelsea believed in Palmer’s talent.
Cole Palmer is currently having an incredible season. He has contributed in almost every match and has one of the highest ratings on the team. Looking at his impressive performances, Pep Guardiola was questioned: What if he stayed at City? Here is what he replied:
Pep Guardiola said:
“I didn’t give Cole Palmer many chances!”

Here is the complete statement:
“If Cole Palmer had the minutes I gave to Foden from the beginning, he would be at Manchester City and not at Chelsea. But I didn’t give it to him; it’s my responsibility.”
“Why? Because I had Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, and more. It was that in that moment, I chose the other ones.”
Did Cole Palmer move to Chelsea work out?
Undoubtedly, Cole Palmer’s move to Chelsea was because of a lack of opportunity. He made only 41 appearances for Manchester City in three seasons. On the other hand, he has been representing Manchester City’s junior teams since 2010.
Unfortunately, due to inconsistent chances, he left Manchester City to join Chelsea. Which turned out to be perfect for him. In the ongoing season, he has made over 30 appearances and has rarely missed a game for them. Not only that, he has scored 14 goals and provided nine assists.
He has performed impressively, and his decision to move to Chelsea has proven his worth.
