The fact is that Enzo and Palmer have struggled to play in the team at the same time, and various managers have tried various imperfect solutions to get it to work. Enzo proved unable to play a double pivot with Moises Caicedo, so he has consistently been moved to the 10, with Palmer then pushed wide right.<\/p>\n Having Palmer central and some more midfield force behind him would be a good way of sorting an imbalanced squad as we prepare for a season without European football.<\/p>\n Nicolas Jackson is coming back from his loan this summer \u2013 although nobody is sure whether he\u2019ll be sticking around. Xabi Alonso needs to decide.<\/p>\n Marc Cucurella may be leaving Chelsea, and another central defender coming means two defensive additions to the Blues.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
