Chelsea’s Cole Palmer misses large payout due to contract mistake in Express.co.uk’s Football section.
The Sun claims that a top striker did not insist on a goal-rewarding clause inserted into his contract, unlike the majority of players in his position. This decision may have cost him a significant financial boost, especially after scoring a first-half hat-trick in a recent match.
The player, now part of the England international team, may be regretting this choice. The hat-trick was described as ‘perfect’, as he scored using his left foot, a header, and a long-range shot with his right foot, further solidifying his performance.
Comparisons have been drawn between the player and his ex-team mate, with the likes of Pat Nevin discussing his potential. There are mentions of him being compared to players like Kevin De Bruyne when he was at a similar age, indicating the high regard in which he is held in the Premier League.
As of 2023/24, the player has scored 20 goals in the Premier League, placing him alongside Erling Haaland at the top of the rankings for the Golden Boot. However, he has the advantage of having a game in hand over the league leaders, which could potentially help him secure the Golden Boot title.
The upcoming FA Cup semi-final at Wembley against the Blues will provide the player with an opportunity to further showcase his abilities. In the previous season, he was an unused substitute when Manchester City claimed victory over Manchester United in the final.
