This change comes as part of a broader squad reshuffle, with Cole Palmer—who previously wore the number 20—transitioning to the iconic number 10 shirt.The number 10 is often reserved for a team’s most creative or influential attacking player, indicating the club’s growing confidence in Palmer’s role at the heart of their offensive strategy.
The prospect of both João Pedro and Cole Palmer operating in the same attacking unit is an exciting one for Chelsea supporters—and a potentially nightmarish scenario for Premier League defenders.With Pedro’s flair, movement, and goal-scoring instinct, combined with Palmer’s vision, technical skill, and playmaking ability, the duo is poised to form a dynamic partnership that could seriously challenge even the most organized defensive lines in the league.
If both players live up to expectations, Chelsea could become one of the most unpredictable and dangerous attacking sides in the Premier League next season
