Chelsea are brimming with confidence over Cole Palmer’s potential, seeing him as a long-term figurehead for the club’s future and even hinting he could be the first Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or since Michael Owen in 2001. The 21-year-old has shown exceptional form, securing September’s Premier League Player of the Month award and is now nominated for October as well. His performances have strengthened Chelsea’s belief that Palmer will be central to the team’s vision in the years to come.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has expressed interest in Chelsea’s midfield star Enzo Fernаndez, reportedly prepared to either pay £84 million or include Aurеlien Tchouamеni in a swap deal. Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is said to be particularly eager to bring Fernаndez into his squad. Chelsea could soon face a decision between cash or a ready-made midfield reinforcement in Tchouamеni as part of a possible deal.
Looking ahead, Chelsea are set to face Manchester United this Sunday, a match that will put Palmer and his teammates under the spotlight once again as they look to build on recent momentum in the Premier League.
