Just what Chelsea needed on deadline day – another signing.
Cole Palmer is the latest off the Manchester City production line. Uber-talented, schooled in Pep Guardiola-ball but, ultimately, not quite good enough to make the grade for the Treble winners.
And so he’s found his way to Chelsea and, at £40m, he’s cost only £10m less than four-time Premier League winner Raheem Sterling did last summer, who also arrived with 75 England caps on his CV.
Such is the market these days, especially for Chelsea who have built a reputation for putting big bucks on the table for promising young players.
