Nicholas Jackson tries to nab Cole Palmer's shampoo
A story has emerged today from Chelsea's Cobham Training Ground in which it is alleged that star forward, Cole Palmer, has thwarted not one, but two attempts to steal his toiletry bag this week.
The skulduggery occurred in the two days immediately following their stunning 6-0 home win over relegation threatened Everton — in which Palmer scored a perfect hat-trick followed by an ice cold penalty, taken after a lengthy delay — and is reported to have caused factions within the group. The culprit has yet to be identified, but with so many new faces in the playing squad, people are unsure who to trust.
The Manager, Mauricio Pochettino, appeared to brush off the incident in his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup Semi-Final against Manchester City, simply responding to multiple questions about the incident with an exasperated look on his face.
"Why would anyone want to steal hair-styling products from Cole Palmer?", sighed the Argentine.
