Chelsea flop was ahead of Palmer, now he’s only played 192 mins this season

In the context of the modern history of Chelsea, the summer transfer window 2023/24 ended very important.

In the spending process of about 386 million pounds, they brought 12 new players to the club that was funded by many sales, and he attends 226 million pounds, which led to the discharge of nine players in permanent transportation operations, while they also leave five players in a free transportation.

This has been a mixed bag so far, with no likes of Christopher Nicondo, Romeo Lavia, Excel Desassi, Robert Sanchez, as they hoped, with the likes of Lesley Ugchukwu, Djordje Petrovic and Deivid Washington are still under a microscope to know how to implement it.

However, there were also some overwhelming successes of this window already. Take the proverbs of Moisees Caeedo and Nicolas Jackson, and of course Cole Palmer.

The numbers behind Cole Palmer’s rise in Chelsea

It might seem so long now, but Palmer has been signed again in the summer transfer window 2023/24, and it was not the beginning of the first team directly from outside.

His first involvement came from the bench under the leadership of Mauricio Pochettino, where he played 28 minutes against Nottingham Forest, played 27 minutes against Bournemouth and played 22 minutes against Aston Villa.

It didn’t take long for Palmer to become the star of the star in Chelsea, although he will play 78 games for the club so far, where he scored 39 goals and provided 21 assists for 6319 minutes.

The 22 -year -old is not lucky for not getting more help, especially this campaign, as he has the highest XA numbers (expected aid) in the league with 7.34, which is more than 0.33 from Mohamed Salah.

But in those first weeks of Poittino, we saw a certain star Chelsea confident in an unfamiliar role, which could have affected Palmer’s path if he was not hurt at that time.

Chelsea man 193 minutes

Carney Chukwuemeka was signed by Chelsea in the summer transfer window 2022/23, as it joined Aston Villa for a fee of about 20 million pounds. The bridge reached a large amount of noise, especially described by Villa CEO, Christian Purlow, as “perhaps the best 16 years in England”.

Well, after moving to London, his first season in the club was disabled due to injuries, but he is still able to hold 15 games in the first team, with a total of 362 minutes.

Then the midfielder began the campaign in the Poittino playing in the role of attacking hybrid/right hybrid, as he started the first two games of the Premier League season, where he played well against Liverpool in the opening match, before also reconciling against West Ham in the second match.

Unfortunately, Chukwuemeka suffered from a knee injury in the same West Ham match, forcing him to get out of the work until January 2024.

By this point, Palmer, of course, was flourishing, and thus struggled with the midfielder for a constant minutes for the rest of the campaign, as well as hindering more injury problems.

Quickly so far, the English midfielder has not been able to storm the first team during Enzo Marisca, as he played a total of 130 minutes for Chelsea, 116 of those minutes that come in the European Union Conference League.

Due to his lack of minutes, the Chukwuemeka was loan in the January window to Borussia Dortmund, where he suffered again from injuries and not only 63 minutes for German dress.

If the young striker’s midfielder is able to collect fitness and start getting fixed minutes somewhere, it is clear that he has the talent that you must explode, but it will be interesting to know in an alternative world, and how it was possible for the professions of both players to differ from the absence of a West Ham injury.
