Rosenior dismisses Cole Palmer-Man Utd transfer links as 'unrealistic'

Goal reports Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has again played down suggestions that Cole Palmer could leave the club amid speculation linking the No.10 with a move to Manchester United. Ahead of Chelsea's crunch Champions League tie at Napoli, Rosenior was asked if he had "assurances" from the board that Palmer wouldn't be sold and replied: "There's no reason for assurance.

It's so unrealistic. It's come from nowhere. There's nothing in it. There's no reason to have the conversation. That's where I'm at." He added: "Cole is very happy. I've had numerous conversations with him. Our thoughts are on how we can make this team better, how he can improve and how I can help him.

He loves being here and he wants to be a Chelsea player. You can't stop speculation, but some speculation is so far from the truth. There's no point in having a discussion about it." Rosenior also said: "It's simple. Cole is an incredible player. I'm not surprised at the timing. A new manager comes in and all of a sudden there are people unsettled.
