The Pride of London offer views as this outcast Chelsea player wants an eventual transfer to one of the Blues’ London rivals, namely Arsenal. In addition to that, PoL look at an ‘arrogance’ comment from a former CFC player.
Chelsea loanee Hakim Ziyech dreams of playing for Arsenal. The Moroccan, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, ‘appears to have no long-term future’ at Stamford Bridge.
Before he actually arrived on Fulham Road and signed for the Blues, Ziyech was asked about ideal clubs to play for. He named the Gunners and Spanish giants Barcelona.
Ex-Chelsea star praises Mauricio Pochettino for allowing standout Blues player Cole Palmer to express himself and showcase his skill set
The west London outfit play Manchester United on Wednesday evening, and Blues supporters will want and expect Palmer to start the game. It is an important match for both heavily criticised teams. So it’ll probably end up the most dreary nil-nil you’ve ever seen! In reality, I am expecting a virtual goal-fest, possibly due to the contribution of both struggling yet iconic sides.
Palmer was left on the substitute’s bench for CFC’s victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. Although the Manchester City Academy product did come on for his new club in the second half, during the clash the senior England international didn’t quite show the influence he had in recent matches. Obviously Chels’ were down to 10-men at his point of entry.
Hopefully Palmer has a bigger impact versus Man United in midweek. The contest will surely be hotly contested. After one-time Blue John Obi Mikel credited Pochettino with aiding the 21-year-old’s progression, maybe he can have his say on notable proceedings once more. Mikel suggests that the Argentine has made the playmaker ‘arrogant and cheeky‘. Something that the 36-year-old believes has benefited Palmer’s game.
