Cole Palmer was the team’s star player last season, and was the creative hub of the Chelsea team.

Palmer scored 27 goals and provided 15 assists across all competitions last season, which won him the Chelsea Player of the Season.

For this season, Enzo Maresca doesn’t want such huge responsibility on a young Cole Palmer, and has said the responsibility of goals will be shared.

“When you score 20 goals one season it’s always difficult to replicate, whether you are Cole Palmer or even [Erling] Haaland,” the Italian said in an interview with the Guardian.

“It’s difficult. With Palmer we have to make sure we share the responsibility for goals with the other wingers and attacking midfield players. It’s not everything on Cole’s shoulders.

“We play with two wingers, two attacking players and a No 9. So these five players are the ones in charge of scoring goals and assisting their teammates. The wingers, the attacking players and the number nine are in charge of scoring goals.”
