Dwight Yorke, the ex-Manchester United forward, believes that Cole Palmer wouldn’t necessarily secure silverware if he decided to leave Chelsea for Arsenal.
Palmer has made an impressive debut at Chelsea, scoring 23 goals across various competitions since his £40 million transfer from Manchester City.

Despite his personal success, Chelsea’s performance has been uneven this season, with the team under Mauricio Pochettino ranking ninth in the Premier League, a significant 19 points away from the top four.
Yorke advises that Palmer should remain at Chelsea beyond his inaugural season, suggesting that a move doesn’t assure the young player of winning trophies.
‘There would be no point in Cole Palmer leaving Chelsea for Arsenal because they’re not winning any trophies either, it wouldn’t make any difference,’ Yorke told Crypto Casino LTD.
‘He wouldn’t go to Liverpool who will be transitioning under a new manager and team. Palmer needs to stay at Chelsea and become the top dog of the club, build his reputation and be the man to move the club forward.
‘Sometimes, players can be quick to move to a more successful or bigger club, but players can be the main man to take these clubs up a level. At Liverpool, he won’t ever be a bigger player than Mo Salah or Virgil van Dijk.
‘My advice for Palmer is to stay at Chelsea. Imagine Zinedine Zidane goes to Chelsea next year and Palmer leaves, it wouldn’t work out for him.
‘I’d love Man United to sign him, but I don’t think that will be the case because of his Man City connection, he’s too young to deal with that.
‘Also, it’s only his first full professional season, let’s see if he can do it over multiple years.’
