Chelsea try to play down Palmer to United speculation
- On Jan 27, 2026, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior dismissed reports linking Cole Palmer with Manchester United and said Palmer is happy and crucial to Chelsea’s long-term plans.

- Across his first two seasons at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer netted 43 goals and 29 assists in 97 outings, while some reports suggested a �26m fee could force a January deal.
