“He’s immature” “He will leave Chelsea because of Cole Palmer ” – Owen Hargreaves slams Cole Palmer for making Football harder for £53m Chelsea star
Chelsea beat Southampton on Tuesday evening, and the star of the show on this occasion was Christopher Nkunku.
Indeed, the Frenchman was among the goals at Stamford Bridge this week in what was a solid performance amid what has been a stop-start season for Christopher Nkunku.
Nkunku was highly-rated before he arrived at Chelsea, but he hasn’t quite hit the heights expected of him in west London.
Nkunku has been criticised at times for Chelsea, and speaking on Premier League Productions, Owen Hargreaves has been discussing Nkunku’s struggles and why he hasn’t quite hit the heights for Chelsea so far.

Indeed, there hasn’t been a natural spot for the Frenchman in this team as of late, and that’s due to the fact Palmer has been undroppable.
“They need him. Everyone thought, is he a striker, but he’s not a striker, he can play wide or as a 10, but they need his goals with Jackson out. He can score goals Christopher Nkunku. He just needs to stay fit and healthy and find a role.
“Cole Palmer being so influential in that number 10 position has probably took away from where he’s at his best, but aside from Cole Palmer he’s probably their most natural choice for goals if Nicolas Jackson is missing.”
