COLE PALMER'S superb 2024 may go down as the year he came of age for club and country - but Enzo Maresca is demanding more.
With two games left in the calendar year, the attacking midfielder has 28 goals in all competitions for Chelsea.
He also won nine England caps and scored his first two international goals, including a memorable one against Spain in the Euros Final in July.
But Chelsea boss Maresca reckons the 22-year-old is only scratching the surface of his potential and that 2025 needs to be a year of learning and development.
