Chelsea's pre-season friendly against Bayer Leverkusen on August 8 offered encouraging signs for the upcoming campaign. Cole Palmer celebrated with summer signing Estevão after the young Brazilian found the net, highlighting the growing understanding between the club's established playmaker and its newest attacking talent.
The match at Stamford Bridge served as a valuable test for Enzo Maresca's side ahead of the Premier League season. While the result of the friendly was secondary, the link-up play between Palmer and Estevão suggested Chelsea's creative core is developing well.
