CHELSEA have agreed a £45million deal for Manchester City forward Cole Palmer that will take their spending under Todd Boehly past the £1billion mark, according to reports.
The Blues have exceeded £300million in spending for the third transfer window in a row.
And, including add-ons, the Palmer deal means they have now surpassed the £1billion mark since Boehly took over last year.
The 21-year-old, who looks set to become the latest addition to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, won the age group Euros with England in the summer.
According to The Times, Chelsea have reached an agreement with City for the Wythenshawe-born player.
