“Palmer Has So Much Talent” – Leboeuf Shows Confidence in His Comeback
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has backed Cole Palmer to regain his form soon, despite the midfielder’s recent struggles.
Palmer has gone seven games without a goal contribution for Chelsea, including missing two big chances in their 4-0 win over Southampton. This dip comes after a strong start to the season, where he scored 14 goals and provided six assists in all competitions.
Speaking to ESPN FC, Leboeuf downplayed concerns over Palmer’s slump, pointing out that even football legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Mohamed Salah have faced similar rough patches.
“He’s been outstanding, scoring goal after goal and standing out as one of the best,” Leboeuf said. “It’s normal for a player to go through a phase where things don’t click. But he has the talent, and I believe he’ll bounce back. He was a bit unlucky—Ramsdale made a great save on one of his chances.
“Even the greatest players have gone through spells where scoring becomes difficult, but Palmer has all the tools to turn things around. He’ll find his rhythm again and deliver for Chelsea.”

“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”

Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
