Cole Palmer’s 38 objectives and 21 assists in 67 appearances since shifting to Chelsea from Manchester Metropolis in 2023 have him firmly established as one of many Premier League’s finest gamers at simply 22 yr outdated.
Add in that there is nonetheless one other eight and a half years left on Palmer’s contract at Stamford Bridge, we’re undecided they will be in any rush to dump their star participant to a Premier League rival.
However that is not stopped Wes Brown from suggesting that his former membership Manchester United ought to cellphone Chelsea as much as ask if he could be obtainable anyway, simply in case each single particular person on the membership occurs to have lapsed right into a state of mass delirium and are completely satisfied to sanction the transfer.

Brown went on: “Chelsea have achieved so nicely to develop Palmer after taking a small danger in signing him and take a look at how good he’s as a participant at such a younger age.”
Most likely United ought to look to do some scouting and attempt to do the identical factor, we reckon, slightly than simply going straight in on the nine-figure price it might absolutely value to signal a participant ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo’s record of the very best attacking midfielders on the earth proper now.
And again to Brown: “I might like to see him at United however he’d already value some huge cash.

“If United had any likelihood in any respect then they might snap your hand off, they need to all the time be looking for the very best younger gamers on the earth.”
Simply chuck Lamine Yamal and Jude Bellingham on the wishlist too, why not. We’re positive they’d be delighted to drop every part to affix a crew presently sitting thirteenth within the Premier League.
