WOLVERHAMPTON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 07: Cole Palmer of Chelsea celebrates scoring his team’s third goal during the Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea at Molineux on February 07, 2026 in Wolverhampton, England. We know the player that he is and the character that he is, but he’s also maturing as a human being. […] It’s making sure he feels right, that he can contribute to the team in the way that he wants to. We want to make sure all our players can play at the level they need to play at to help us win. And even though he’s not been at his best, right now, it’s a two-man race between him and Reece James for our Player of the Season.
