He ended the 2023/24 season with 22 goals and 11 templates, not far behind the Golden Boot winner Erling Haaland for large parts of the season.
The former star of the Manchester City Academy joined the blues in September 2023 on the day of the transfer period and has been one of the most valuable assets in the world since then.
A deduction from Chelsea will prove to be difficult, and the 22-year-old has captured in one of the longest contracts in football by 2033.
However, the Blues broadcaster and the co -moderator of Talksport, Jennings, insists that the England superstar will be “itching” in the Champions League -with Chelsea, who is currently at the last place.
Jennings points to a transfer that would send shock waves through West London and said: “A player of Cole Palmer’s quality will be itchy to play in the Champions League, and if Chelsea is not in IT … Cole Palmer plays the Champions League. Football.
“Whether that with Chelsea or not depends on the US qualifying, but Cole Palmer will play Champions League football.”
Watford Legend and co-moderator Troy Deeney added that it was “fascinating” to see how the Saga unfolds when Enzo Maresca’s team fight against a top fourth place in the Premier League table.
Deeney said: “It is a fascinating time to see around.
“It felt like there was a claim that they had to be there.”
Jennings suggested that her attitude was a “Maresca thing” in which Chelsea’s appearance in the league cup against Newcastle lost 2-0 in St. James’ Park.

Jennings also suggested that, in contrast to Maresca’s claims that the qualification of the Champions League was “no need”, it is that this was the case.
He added: “It is terrible and we now have a situation in which you have Christopher Nkunku, who scored five goals in 30 odd Premier League games.
“He will now be our recognized striker, and if he is not, we rely on a 19-year-old Spanish child [Marc Guiu] Who played 3 Premier League games and did not score a goal. “
At Chelsea, Palmer broke a number of data records. In September he was the first player in the history of the Premier League in the first half of a game in a 4-2 win at home against Brighton.
Three months later, he became the second-quickest Chelsea player, who scored 30 goals from the Premier League, behind Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
