Winger not for sale
Chelsea ‘will not entertain’ any offers for winger Cole Palmer in the near future, according to Football Insider. The England international has become one of their most prized assets since joining from Manchester City last year.
Palmer, who is 22-years-old, rose up through the youth ranks at the Etihad Stadium and went on to make 41 first-team appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side in all competitions. He chipped in with six goals before he was given the green light to head out the exit.
He has since been prolific for the Blues and has found the net on 31 occasions in 54 outings since moving down to London. The attacker’s contract expires in June 2033 and they have no intention of letting him go anywhere.
After Palmer won the Premier League Player of the Month award for September, Maresca said: “He is winning so many trophies in this moment so this is one more! The best thing he has is that these kinds of awards are not going to change him and he is always the same guy: humble. He enjoys football like a kid. This is the best thing for him.
“You can see how much he enjoys his football. He is like a kid, he always wants the ball, to play and to enjoy. He is so happy. You can see in sessions; he is always one of the first around the ball and wants the ball. It is the main point.”
He added: “He can play in different positions for us because he is so good on the ball. He can play wide, in the middle, as a nine. We try to use him in one position at the moment in the middle of the pitch but it depends a little bit on the game plan we have and sometimes we move him wide a little bit like he did many times against Brighton. We try to give him the opportunity to enjoy his football because, with him, that is the main thing.”
Spurs eye Serie A man
Spurs have been ‘watching’ Atalanta forward Charles De Ketelaere, according to CaughtOffside. Fellow top flight teams Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle United and West Ham have also been mentioned as potential suitors.
The 23-year-old, who has 20 caps under his belt for Belgium, has been at Club Brugge and AC Milan in the past. He moved to Gewiss Stadium on an initial loan deal last term before his switch was made permanent and he has scored 15 goals in 60 outings altogether to date.
