Cole Palmer’s 38 objectives and 21 assists in 67 appearances since transferring to Chelsea from Manchester Metropolis in 2023 have him firmly established as one of many Premier League’s greatest gamers at simply 22 yr previous.
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 are going to 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 telephone Chelsea as much as ask if he may be out there anyway, simply in case each single particular person on the membership occurs to have lapsed right into a state of mass delirium and are glad to sanction the transfer.
Wes Brown: Manchester United ought to signal Cole Palmer and there is completely no points with that plan by any means
Chatting with The Sports Daily, Brown mentioned: “Fortunately for Manchester United, they nonetheless have the star energy to have the ability to tempt high gamers like Cole Palmer to the membership.”
Ah, sure, United’s current switch historical past is an absolute litany of high-profile gamers on the peak of their powers from Premier League rivals. Who was the final one once more? Robin van Persie in 2012, most likely? We all know Palmer’s a boyhood Manchester United fan, however we’re undecided any 22 yr previous realistically sees them as a much bigger membership than Chelsea today.
Brown went on: “Chelsea have executed so properly to develop Palmer after taking a small danger in signing him and have a look at how good he’s as a participant at such a younger age.”
In all probability United ought to look to do some scouting and attempt to do the identical factor, we reckon, reasonably than simply going straight in on the nine-figure price it could absolutely value to signal a participant ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo’s record of one of the best attacking midfielders on this planet proper now.
And again to Brown: “I’d like to see him at United however he’d already value some huge cash.
“He’s a participant that each one one of the best groups on this planet will probably be simply in case there may be any probability of signing him.
“If United had any probability in any respect then they’d snap your hand off, they need to at all times be looking for one of the best younger gamers on this planet.”
Simply chuck Lamine Yamal and Jude Bellingham on the wishlist too, why not. We’re certain they’d be delighted to drop every thing to affix a crew at the moment sitting thirteenth within the Premier League.
