Chelsea playmaker, Cole Palmer, is said to be unhappy at the Premier League club and is considering a summer exit.

According to the UK Mirror, Palmer has become unsettled at Stamford Bridge and is pushing to leave.

The 23-year-old is enduring a frustrating campaign due to injury problems.

However, he has contributed 10 goals and three assists in 25 appearances so far.

But Chelsea has suffered four straight defeats in all competitions and currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League.

This means Liam Rosenior’s men are in real danger of missing out on playing in the Champions League next season.

That could see Chelsea struggle to keep players Palmer, despite the midfielder having a contract until 2033.

It is understood Palmer would favour a switch to Manchester United, amid interest from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
