Cole Palmer’s connection with Chelsea’s attack was reflected in the chances he created for those around him.

The England international fashioned 22 Premier League opportunities for Noni Madueke and another 11 for Nicolas Jackson during the 2024-25 campaign. With both players leaving the following summer, Chelsea also lost two of Palmer’s most frequent attacking partners, disrupting a chemistry that had become an important part of the team’s offensive play.
