COLE Palmer, the Chelsea midfielder, has expressed his delight at how his first season with the club has exceeded his expectations. In an interview, he said: “To be honest, I thought I'd get some playing time, but it's gone far better than I could have hoped for. I feel vindicated for making the tough decision to leave Manchester City and join Chelsea. It's paying off, and I hope it continues to do so.”

When asked about his favorite goal of the season, Palmer mentioned: “I have a few that stand out, but if I had to choose, it would be the one against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The emotion and excitement of that moment make it special. The goal against Everton at home was also a highlight.”

Regarding his “cold” celebration, Palmer explained: “It started because of the comments on my Instagram posts, where people would call me 'Cold Palmer.' So, I decided to do the celebration against Luton, and it just stuck! Now, I see kids imitating it, and it makes me laugh. It's become a fun thing to do, and I'm glad the fans enjoy it.”

Overall, Cole Palmer is thrilled with his first season at Chelsea and is enjoying the success and connection with the fans.
