There is a case to be made that passing is Palmer’s most outstanding attribute - a case strengthened in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Newcastle

For the WAGNH Community, the answer is fairly straightforward: a like-for-like swap with Christopher Nkunku. Now obviously that two players are not exactly alike, but in theory they both play best in a No.10/support striker/central attacking midfielder role. (Though Nkunku rarely gets to play as one.)

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca hopes to have Cole Palmer fit and raring to go when they face Arsenal in a Premier League London derby on Sunday after the playmaker injured his knee in the draw with Manchester United last weekend.
