It is a flat £40m fee up front with £2.45 in add-ons and, after an exhaustive window, it is expected to be Chelsea's last signing. Palmer was seen as one of City's best prospects but it is a huge fee for a player who has made just three starts in the Premier League. The 21-year-old adds to Mauricio Pochettino's wealth of attacking options, with Chelsea ramping up their efforts to sign another forward after Christopher Nkunku suffered a serious knee injury in pre-season. He was part of the England squad that won the under-21 Euros earlier this summer and made 25 appearances for City in last season's Treble-winning campaign. Palmer first joined City as a six-year-old and said of his departure: "I have had a fantastic time at Manchester City and I would like to thank everyone who's been there for me and supported me during my time at the Club – players, coaches, staff. "It doesn't feel that long ago that I was Under-18 captain and I leave now having been involved in the Treble-winning squad and the UEFA Super Cup triumph too, incredible achievements I was so grateful to be a part of. "It's been an amazing journey for me and I've enjoyed every single step. The next step is leaving the football club. I leave with many happy memories and wish everyone at City the very best for the future." City's director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "Cole has come up through our Academy system and been a model professional throughout that time. We've enjoyed watching his development and I'd also like to pay tribute, as I am sure Cole would, to the coaches who've aided his progress through the years. "Cole was a valuable member of the Treble-winning squad and we won't forget the impact he ma){kind=link}
