Chelsea turned out to be promising at the start of the season, but their shape was recently really disappointing.
At a stadium of the season, it seemed to be involved in the title race, but even a place among the first four will not seem unlikely to them.
The Enzo Maresca team again lost in the Premier League on Saturday against the Aston Villa team of Unai Emery. Marco Asensio scored twice for villa with the two goals assisted by Marcus Rashford.
It was another match that showed that Chelsea is always a work in progress and at a long distance from the difficulty for the title of the League despite their heavy investment.
One expert Sky Sports, Paul Merson, told Chelsea that Cole Palmer wanted to play at a larger level than what they could offer.
It is a warning for blues that their best player could leave the club if they are unable to correspond to his ambitions.
Palmer scored 14 goals this season and provided six assists, keeping his brilliant individual form last season.
The Blues failed to qualify for the Champions League last season and it may be the case this season and given their bad shape.
Merson warned Chelsea that the future of Palmer could bed from Stamford Bridge.
“With all these big squads they have, and they have put people on seven (or) eight -year -old contracts, I don’t know how it will all go,” Merson said on Sky Sports, as indicated by Football365.
“He arrives on the stage where, you know, the best boy’s drawer, so he will want to play the Champions League, looking at the Champions League. Look at this space if they do not arrive in the top five. “”
Paul Merson makes sense with his evaluation for the Chelsea star
Merson is on the point with his analysis and it should be an alarm clock for Chelsea.
They still do not progress on the ground even after their massive expenses on the transfer market.
It remains to be seen how long Palmer will accept this, because it should be difficult for silverware every season.
Many clubs in Europe could give it the opportunity to gain silverware, Real Madrid in particularAnd if nothing changes in Chelsea in the near future, he could start looking for options.
