LIAM ROSENIOR has warned that Cole Palmer is untouchable at Chelsea despite fears he is open to joining Manchester United.
SunSport revealed this week that Palmer would consider a move to Old Trafford as he feels unsettled in London.
New Chelsea boss Rosenior insists the England international, 23, is happy at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer travelled to Naples with the Chelsea squad, having missed their last two games with a thigh issue.
Rosenior said: “Is he untouchable, is he happy? Yes and yes.
“It’s simple, Cole Palmer is an incredible player like many players in the group.

“Cole is here, he’s very happy and I can’t wait to see him back on the pitch.
“Cole is very happy. I’ve had numerous conversations with him.
“Our thoughts are on how we can make this team better, how he can improve and how I can help him.
“He loves being here and he wants to be a Chelsea player.”
Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £42.5million deal three years ago and is under contract until 2033.
He has since made 110 appearances for the club, scoring 48 goals and assisting 28 more.
He has also become a regular in the Three Lions set-up and has already earned 12 caps.
The Blues are currently 8th in the league phase table of the Champions League ahead of their clash against Napoli.
A win will see them automatically qualify for the round of 16 unless Barcelona or Sporting Lisbon better their score by two goals.
Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Atalanta could also surpass the Blues but will need bigger wins.
