Former Arsenal<\/a> defender Martin Keown<\/a> says Cole Palmer<\/a> is likely questioning his decision to join Chelsea<\/a> and could look to leave ‘in the next couple of years’.<\/p>\n

Palmer has been nothing short of a revelation since completing a \u00a340million move from Manchester City to Stamford Bridge 18 months ago<\/a> and was named the Premier League Young Player of the Season after an extraordinary debut campaign last term.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old picked up where he left off at the start of this season and has racked up 14 goals and six assists in 28 appearances in the English top flight.<\/p>\n

However, Palmer has experienced an uncharacteristic dip in form since the turn of the year and is without a goal in his last ten games for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

The England international has also been struggling for fitness of late and was ruled out of this month’s World Cup qualifiers after sustaining a hamstring injury<\/a> in Chelsea training. <\/p>\n

The Blues’ up-and-down season has even led to some questions over Palmer’s long-term future in west London, with the attacker, at times, cutting a frustrated figure during the club’s malaise.<\/p>\n

‘When you talk about projects and players and where Chelsea want to go, you look at him as a central figure of it,’ Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said of Palmer following Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat to Brighton last month.<\/p>\n

‘But if they don’t get better and start competing for trophies, he will want to leave.<\/p>\n

‘He’s one of the best players in the Premier League. <\/p>\n

‘He will want to be competing for the Champions League and Premier League.’<\/p>\n
