Cole Palmer has been linked with a move away from ChelseaCole Palmer has been linked with a shock move to Manchester United during the January transfer window. The 23-year-old rose through Manchester City’s academy and has since become one of Chelsea’s star players, but the midfielder was a boyhood United fan. Since joining Chelsea, the midfielder has made his feelings clear about the club he grew up supporting. “Yeah, when I was growing up, I was a United fan,” he told TNT Sports. Despite claims that he is unsettled, Palmer previously signed an improved Chelsea contract until 2033, meaning it would likely take an eye-watering transfer fee to complete a deal.
