EPL: I was persuaded to join Chelsea – Palmer

Chelsea ace Cole Palmer has revealed that he was persuaded to join the Blues.

Palmer left Manchester City to join Chelsea in the summer of 2023.

The England international failed to get regular playing time at City under manager Pep Guardiola.

The 22-year-old has been impressive for Chelsea since joining Enzo Maresca’s side.

“I wasn’t even gonna go to Chelsea. I got persuaded,” Palmer tells GQ.

“I remember training on a Wednesday at City in the afternoon, and the news was they’re trying to agree a fee. Every time the ball went out, I’d ask the kit man if they’ve agreed the fee yet.”
