Manchester is my home - Palmer
Chelsea star Cole Palmer has revealed that his family still lives in Manchester, which is the main reason for his visits to the city.
The 23-year-old admitted that he does not miss Manchester and feels no emotional attachment when returning to see his family.
Speaking with The Guardian, Palmer also reaffirmed his full commitment to Chelsea despite their recent struggles in the Premier League.
He insisted that the Blues remain in a strong position to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. He said:
“Everyone just talks. When I see it, I just laugh. Obviously Manchester is my home—my family are there—but I don’t miss it. Maybe I would if I stayed away for a long time, but when I go back, I feel like there’s nothing there for me anymore.
"I’ve got no plans to move from Chelsea. We’ve still got a lot to play for. We’re in an FA Cup semi-final and if we finish in a Champions League spot, it puts us in a strong position to bring in the players we need."
The attacking midfielder said there are discussions among the board member of the club to strengthen the side for their European competitions.
Palmer expressed optimism in Chelsea's chances of competing at the highest level next season, per The Mirror. He said:
“We’ve talked a lot about what we need, the players we should sign, and how things should improve. He wouldn’t commit if he didn’t believe in the plan.
“We want to win now, and if we recruit well this summer, we can challenge for serious trophies next season. I don’t think we’re far off.
“It’s tough without a proper pre-season, you don’t get much time to train, you’re just playing games. But the manager is very good, and with time to implement his ideas, he can take us to another level.”
