Cole Palmer insists his strong start at Chelsea has vindicated his decision to leave Man City... but admits he is still adapting to the 'big change' of moving to the capital

Cole Palmer believes the first month at Chelsea has already vindicated his decision to leave Manchester City.

The forward, who scored his first Premier League goal during Saturday's 4-1 win at Burnley, will take the captain's armband for England's Under 21s in a Euro qualifier against Serbia on Thursday night.

Palmer comes into it after flourishing under Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, playing a significant part in consecutive victories from the start.

While the 21-year-old is finding learning life skills a challenge in the capital, he is thriving for his new club after a £42.
