Chelsea embarked on a significant spending spree in an effort to strengthen their squad and improve their position in the Premier League. Much of their focus was on bolstering the midfield, resulting in the acquisitions of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. However, both players are currently sidelined due to injuries, contributing to a growing list of unavailable players.
In a bid to add versatility to their squad, Chelsea signed Cole Palmer late in the transfer window, with plans to utilize him in various attacking positions. The young English talent was acquired for a fee of £40 million, and while his potential is evident, Gary Neville expressed his perplexity regarding Chelsea’s motivation for the signing.
Neville remarked, “Cole Palmer being bought for £40 million from Man City is another one. We have seen it with United, that lack of stability at the top since Todd Boehly came in from Roman Abramovich. Every department at the club has changed, and it’s too much.”
