Pundits Urge Cole Palmer to Leave Chelsea, Claiming He Has Outgrown the Club

Cole Palmer has been advised by pundits Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes to leave Chelsea, with many feeling that the 22-year-old has already outgrown the club.

During an appearance on The Overlap Fan Debate, Carragher drew parallels between Palmer’s current challenges and Steven Gerrard’s early struggles at Liverpool, noting that his frustration on the pitch mirrored the intensity of a young Gerrard, whose talent far exceeded those around him.

Despite a long-term contract until 2033 and an impressive record of 39 goals and 21 assists in 78 appearances, concerns persist about Chelsea’s competitive edge—highlighted by a recent lackluster performance against rivals Arsenal.

Carragher questioned how Palmer could continue to thrive in an environment that isn’t pushing for top honors, suggesting that a move might be necessary if he is to fulfill his potential on the biggest stages.

The call for a move reflects a broader belief that a fresh challenge could unlock his full potential. A transfer to a more competitive environment might be exactly what Palmer needs to develop into a world-class talent.
