Manchester United legend Paul Scholes fears Cole Palmer is operating in a comfort zone at Chelsea and needs a more challenging environment if he is to fulfil his potential.
The England international’s form has mirrored that of a side that find themselves in the midst of a dire run of results which culminated in Sunday’s limp 1-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Palmer missed the game as a consequence of a muscle injury and is likely to pull out of international duty having been named in Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad last week.
It is, perhaps, no surprise that Palmer has been unable to maintain the standards he set over the course of his first 18 months as a Chelsea player.
