They faced a lot of criticism for it and made some mistakes along the way, but Chelsea have built a very exciting team over the last few years.
Enzo Maresca has already led them to the glory of the Conference League and club’s World Cup in a few months’ space, and will start the Premier League challenges next season as well.
But while the team is full of talented players, it’s still clear that Cole Palmer is more important than anything, with a tally of 18 goals and 14 assists in 52 games last season.
It’s often the case that when the British are playing well, the team is playing well too. So fans should be excited about the report linking them to an international link to become the former Manchester City Gem’s dream teammate.
Chelsea targets Cole Palmer’s dream teammates
This year has been a great summer for Chelsea, but so far it has been just as exciting.
In addition to shifting several unwanted players already, such as Noni Maduke and Kepa Arrizabalaga, the West Londoners have put cash on players like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, significantly improving the squad’s firepower.
In addition to that, they also added some exciting prospects for the future, such as Dario Esgo and Mamade Sarre, who are scheduled to re-join Strasbourg on loan during the season.
But they’re now linked to another seriously inspiring attacker who can become Palmer’s perfect teammate, so there’s no indication that pensioners will be late anytime soon.
At least that’s a recent report from Spain that Chelsea claims he’s very interested in signing Xavi Simons this summer.
In fact, the report claims that the Bruce is now one of the leading clubs in RB Leipzigster’s race.
However, the report reveals that the Bundesliga side will need a fee of up to 110 million euros and will convert to around £95 million, so it’s not a cheap deal to get over the line.
It’s still unclear whether that’s the final price it actually costs to sign Dutchman, but he’s a great addition to the Chelsea team and who would become the perfect teammate for Palmer.
Why is Simons a dream for Simons?
That may sound pretty simple, but that’s probably because, but the first reason Simons is a really great teammate for Palmer depends on his output.
With just 33 appearances last season, the dynamic Leipzigeece found the back of the net for just 2,763 minutes in total, 11 times, providing eight assists.
That is, despite starting his 21-year-old season, the Flying Dutchman averages goal involvement on average every 1.73 games or every 145.42 minutes, making it a very impressive return rate.

Imagine playing with the blues talismanic British and even more goals and support.
The second reason he becomes the dream teammate of the Weissenshaw-born Ace is that, as he is incredibly versatile, one analyst called him “one of the world’s best 10”, the gem of former Paris Saint-Germain can also play in Frank or on top.
This not only gives him time to play and establish with a genuine partnership with Palmer, but also means that sometimes he will come to the team in his place, allowing him to rest and come back at his best.
Finally, the fact that he is a year younger than the British is also important. Because it means he continues to develop with him, reaching his potential at about the same time, helping to further strengthen each other’s understanding of the game.
Ultimately, from his output to his versatility and age profile, Simons appears to be the perfect teammate to wait for Palmer. Therefore, Chelsea should do what they can to sign him as soon as possible.
