Man City midfielder Cole Palmer could be joining Chelsea sooner and it could be faster than we expected

Chelsea are set to bid for Manchester City midfielder Cole Palmer this week.

BBC Sport says the Blues are readying an offer for the England U21 international.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino stated yesterday he was keen to add to his attacking options before Friday’s transfer deadline.

This month, Palmer scored in both the Uefa Super Cup win over Sevilla and the Community Shield loss to Arsenal.

West Ham have also made an enquiry about Palmer’s situation.
