After victory over Bournemouth, Palmer told Premier League Productions: "Over the past five games we have gelled together more than we did at the start of the season. Many things happen."
He added on departing centre half Thiago Silva: "He's one of the best centre-backs to play the game. What a legend."
"We're a young, exciting squad. If we keep working and pushing then I think big things can come for us."
