Chelsea winger Cole Palmer said that getting into European competitions would be a “step in the right direction” for his team.
Only on April 3, Chelsea was ranked 12th in the Premier League. Having accelerated dramatically in recent weeks, the Blues have been able to significantly improve their standings.
After a 1-2 victory over Brighton the day before, Chelsea found themselves in sixth place in the table, and if the Blues do not lose to Bournemouth next Sunday, they guarantee themselves entry into European competitions, and this is of great importance to Palmer.
“We can take sixth place, and that’s an important thing for us. Chelsea is a big club and each of us wants to finish higher than sixth place, but you need to consider where we were at the beginning of the season.”
“Returning to Europe would be a step in the right direction. It’s all a credit to the coach. All the players adore the coach and want to fight for him,” Palmer was quoted as saying by the BBC.
