Head coach laments time when club bought star playersCole Palmer ‘worried’ about 16-game goal drought
Enzo Maresca has said Chelsea’s transfer plans depend on whether they qualify for the Champions League. The head coach, who insisted Cole Palmer’s goalscoring drought was all in the player’s head, also hinted at wanting to add more experience to his squad.
Maresca, who will serve a touchline ban at Saturday’s home game against Everton, said Chelsea have the second-youngest squad in Europe and said he was often having to place his trust in teenagers when he makes substitutions. The club have adopted a policy of signing talented youngsters under the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership and will prioritise deals for a centre-back, a winger and a striker this summer.
