Desailly worries that Palmer will leave Chelsea: I just want him to respect the club

Palmer tipped to hand in Chelsea transfer request

Marcel Desailly has suggested that Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer could look for an exit route from west London if he loses faith in the Premier League side's project. The England international hit the ground running after arriving from Manchester City in the summer of 2023 and has become one of the standouts of a squad bursting with young - but raw - talents. But after an explosive first season‚ Palmer was a more muted presence in 2024-25 and has spent much of this season struggling with persistent injuries.
