Leeds United player comments on Cole Palmer’s Instagram amid reports he could join Chelsea

Palmer saw him break into the England squad, earning two caps from the bench before his first England start on Monday night as Gareth Southgate’s men finally got past Bosnia and Herzegovina.

England eventually took the lead when VAR ruled a foul from a corner and, with Harry Kane about to come on, Palmer took it upon himself to score his first England goal for St. James’ Park.

The score flattered England in the end as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kane got on the scoresheet and Chelsea man Palmer took to Instagram to highlight his delight at scoring his first goal.

It prompted a response from a Leeds player who has been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer.

Palmer is now set to earn a place in Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad, and by the time he returns he could find he has a new team-mate in the form of Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville in west London.

Summerville, also 22, is attracting interest from many Premier League clubs. The £40million ace is on the lists of Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham, Bournemouth and West Ham ahead of the summer window.

Crystal Palace are also keen as they look to replace Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise if they leave, while Newcastle have held internal talks. Summerville posted on his potential future teammate’s post.

Chelsea would be the wrong move for Leeds star Summerville

While one reason that can be attributed to Summerville’s success this season is the drop in division and quality in the championship, another may be the fact that it is the first season in which he was the first pick.

Before that, he was a rotation option under Jesse Marsch and on the wing under Marcelo Bielsa. Now a key Leeds player and doing justice to the no. 10 and his next club must make him first choice.

To get the best out of him, Summerville needs to feel like the leading man. At Chelsea, he won’t be, given the amount of attacking stars at Enzo Maresca’s disposal, so he should look elsewhere.
