Cole Palmer Set to Join Chelsea from Manchester City in Summer Transfer Window

Cole Palmer’s stance on joining Chelsea has been revealed after the Blues reached an agreement with Manchester City over a summer transfer. Palmer, 21, emerged as a late target for Chelsea heading into the final days of the summer transfer window.

Mauricio Pochettino has signed off on a move for the England U21 international, eager to bring in another attacking option before Friday’s deadline. The Athletic now report that Chelsea have agreed a deal with City to sign Palmer and the west Londoners are set to pay around £40-£45m.

Palmer Set to Pass Medical and Agree Personal Terms

Assuming Palmer passes a medical, which he is set to undergo in the next 24 hours, he just needs to agree personal terms with the Blues. That does not seem to be a problem with reports indicating that Palmer has already said yes to the move and is thought to be ready for a new chapter.

Palmer has three years left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium and while Pep Guardiola was open to keeping him, first-team opportunities were likely to come at a premium given City’s options in attack.

Palmer has managed 10 minutes of Premier League action this term, coming off the bench in the opening day victory over Burnley. He also started the Super Cup final against Sevilla, getting on the scoresheet before City went onto win 5-4 on penalties.

Palmer has made 41 appearances in all competitions for City since making his senior debut in September 2020, with 19 of those coming in the league.

Chelsea Looking to Strengthen Attack

The move for Palmer comes as Chelsea look to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season. The Blues have already added Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to their ranks this summer, but Pochettino is eager to add more depth to his squad.

Palmer is seen as an ideal option given his versatility and potential. He can play anywhere across the front three and is comfortable playing out wide or through the middle. He is also capable of playing in a deeper role if needed.

Palmer is highly rated by those at City and he has been tipped for a bright future in the game. He is now set to take the next step in his career and join Chelsea as they look to challenge for major honours this season.
