Cole Palmer has made Alejandro Garnacho’s brother regret his statement that the Englishman wouldn’t score ten goals this season without using a penalty.
The dynamic forward for Chelsea has already scored six goals in the Premier League, including a spectacular four in one half against Brighton, and provided four assists.

Palmer’s explosive play from the previous season, when he scored 22 goals in the Premier League, created 11 more opportunities, and won the PFA Young Player of the Year title, has continued.
However, Roberto Garnacho, Garnacho’s brother, thought it appropriate to try and predict Palmer’s upcoming season after the Blues lost 2-0 to Manchester City in their opener.
In August, following a quiet encounter against his previous team in Enzo Maresca’s first league game as manager, Roberto turned to social media to make a bold statement on what Palmer’s future could hold, reports Daily Star.
He said, “Cole Palmer isn’t hitting 10 goals without penalties,” and predicted that the 22-year-old will have a lackluster campaign. However, supporters quickly disagreed with the brother of the United star, with one saying, “You should know better… Why would you post something like this!”
Palmer has scored six goals, five of which were not penalties. Barring any calamity, The Blues player is almost halfway to Roberto’s anticipated total of ten. Given that his brother’s team is still struggling under Erik ten Hag, it is probable that he will live to regret his social media speculation.
