‘Sorry Chelsea fans’- As Chelsea star could leave club this summer if they don’t qualify for European football
According to reports, maintaining one of their finest players may now depend entirely on finishing in the European spots.
After Mauricio Pochettino was under a lot of pressure due to mid-table mediocrity, they finally moved into the top seven with back-to-back decisive victories against West Ham United and Tottenham, two rival teams in London.
Even though this is the Argentine’s first season at the club and the Chelsea team all seems to appreciate him, there are rumors that the hot seat may open up once more soon.
Following their convincing 5-0 victory over the weekend, it became clear that the owners demanded to play in the Europa League, not just a seventh-place finish.
Making sure they are playing in Europe is key to the project at Stamford Bridge too, and keeping hold of their better players.
Arguably their top performer this season has been Cole Palmer, with him sitting on 21 Premier League goals so far already.
Cole Palmer could leave without European football
However, it has been reported by TuttoMercatoWeb that maintaining their status as a European club could be crucial in them keeping hold of him for the upcoming campaigns.
In just his first campaign at Stamford Bridge, he has instantly proven to be one of the best players in the Premier League already.
Palmer described as ‘world-class’
His teammates have been well aware of his brilliance, with Carney Chukwuemeka describing him as ‘world-class’ earlier this season.
The 21-year-old is no doubt going to play a key role in the club’s final three games this season, where it will be determined if they are playing in Europe next season or not.
