Cole Palmer scored 10 league goals for Chelsea in 2025/26, and 5 of them were penalties. On non-penalty goals alone he ranked 49th in the league. His rate looks better than that rank: 197 minutes per goal, 20th among players with at least 900 minutes and a goal.
He played 1,965 minutes from 26 appearances, 9th at the club. His goals were worth 6 points across 4 matches, and more of them came away (6) than at home (4).
Chelsea finished 10th with 52 points, down from 4th in 2024/25. In the 10 matches he played against the top six they won 1, drew 4 and lost 5, and he scored 2. Missing matches and a reliance on penalties may both have shaped his total; the team sheets show the pattern, not the cause. He joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023 and has 49 goals in 102 matches for them in all competitions.
Coverage Some club spells are dated to the year only. The club's league positions listed for a spell are for the seasons inside those years; the player may not have been at the club for all of each season, and appearances per season are not held. Team sheets (line-ups, minutes, cards) are held for 2025/26 only; earlier seasons have results and tables but no player figures.
