In a recent news conference, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, acknowledged that he knew Cole Palmer had the potential to become a star player in football. However, Guardiola couldn't guarantee the young forward enough playing time at City, which ultimately led to Palmer's move to Chelsea in a £42.5 million deal last summer.
Since joining Chelsea, Palmer has flourished under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, becoming a key player for the London club. The 21-year-old has already netted 10 Premier League goals in just 20 appearances and even made his debut for the England national team in November.
