Former Premier League footballer Stan Collymore has made an interesting suggestion to Thomas Tuchel in regards to Cole Palmer.
Palmer has established himself as not only one of the best players in the Premier League, but also one of the best in the world after joining Chelsea from Manchester City two years ago.
Palmer has established himself as Chelsea’s go to player, despite the top talent on offer in the Chelsea squad, which is credit to the impact he’s made.
Palmer is looking to Establish himself as an England regular.
Palmer has shown he can perform both as a number ten and on the right wing for the Blues, but he’s still yet to establish himself in the England set-up.
The former Manchester City star is competing with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden, which isn’t easy, but he showed at Euro 2024 the impact he can have on the national team.
With the World Cup next summer Tuchel has got to find a way of getting Palmer in the team, and Collymore has made a suggestion.
“If I was Thomas Tuchel, I would be honing down on the players that I want for my side,” he told Caught Offside.
“I would play Cole Palmer on the left; he’s a winger for all intents and purposes. Forget the fact that he plays as a ten and he drops deep, etc. He’s extraordinarily left-footed player and he can go past people with ease.

“He would not be the first player in world football history to play one position for his club and another position for his nation.
“I think he should be just told quite simply: play on the left, hug the touchline, go past the full-back, put the cross in the box. There’s nothing stopping you from drifting in and playing a one-two and scoring your goals.”
