Why would you walk away from being in a club and being the top man at the same time?“Where is he going to go and become a top player and the top man?

Outside of that is Arsenal, he won’t go there because Bukayo Saka is there.“Liverpool might be an option if Mo Salah were to leave, so that might be something that they might look to do. So, watch this space with that if Mo Salah leaves. “There’s no reason why it would not happen if Mo Salah is to leave. Otherwise, why would he want to leave Chelsea?“He’s the top man at the club. He plays week in, week out. Yes, the Champions League is important. If we keep missing out on Champions League, only then does it become a problem for Cole Palmer.“Next year, if Chelsea come back, work hard, and make sure they can qualify for the Champions League and compete for the Premier League, then everything is happy for Palmer.“I genuinely believe that the only club that could tempt him would be Liverpool, and even then, they would have to let Salah go first.”Salah is set to leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer.He appeared to drop a huge hint about an exit earlier this week, telling TNT Sports: “I just want fans to remember that I gave it all to the fans, I gave it all to the city.“I was here, I wasn’t lazy, I just enjoyed my football and gave it my all.“I think that’s what the city is about, they give you love, you have a connection with them.“I just want them to remember that I was here for eight years…or whatever.”Chelsea ratings vs Southampton as Cole Palmer STILL can't score or assist... and gets a horror gradeCHELSEA reverted to winning ways as they smashed Southampton 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.Goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella set the Blues on their way to victory.But there was STILL no joy in front of goal for Cole Palmer.So, who was Chelsea’s best player on the night?
