The Sky Blues, who had two goals from Erling Haaland, including one from the penalty spot, finished the weekend one point ahead of Liverpool at the top with 28 points, followed by Arsenal’s victory over Burnley on Saturday and Brentford’s 3-0 victory on July 27.
It is possible to view Chelsea’s decision to sign Palmer during the summer transfer window as somewhat opportunistic given that they reversed course after failing to sign Michael Olise, who opted to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace. Seems like the decision was right to sign the youngster and the Blues are now happy. The attacking midfielder has been rising high in his footballing career. Palmer has the appearance of someone who is destined for a long career elsewhere.
The new Chelsea star Palmer, who had a spectacular late equaliser against his former team, Manchester City celebrated in a stunning way as the game ended with an eight-goal thriller, four each.
Palmer is scheduled to play in England’s Under-21 squad’s forthcoming Euro 2025 qualifying matches and here is all you need to know about him.
