Cole Palmer has opened up on his difficult run of form after Chelsea thrashed Southampton 4-0 on Tuesday night.

Palmer, 22, has enjoyed a stunning 18 months since signing for the Blues from Manchester City in the summer of 2023 for £42.5million.

The attacking midfielder has scored 39 goals and added 21 assists, regularly leading from the front at Stamford Bridge.

However, Palmer has failed to score or assist across his past seven games in all competitions, with the 21-year-old undergoing what seems to be his first dip for the club.
