Cole Palmer made the move from Manchester City to Chelsea in September 2023. Ever since his move to Stamford Bridge, the 22-year-old has assumed the role of his side’s most ‘important’ player.

Head coach Enzo Maresca has time and again asserted his importance to the squad as well. Recently, the forward took a slight dig at his former side as he spoke of the treble-winning medals earned during his time at the Etihad.

Another added that Palmer made a ‘stupid’ decision to restock his trophies by joining Chelsea. Additionally, a City support mocked Palmer for his overconfidence, arguing that he’ll only be able to win Conference League titles in the future.

Meanwhile, Chelsea fans backed the player as they praised his confidence to leave his past at home. While his ‘winning mentality’ deserves praise, only time will tell if Enzo Maresca can inspire Chelsea to a title this season.
