Transfer: Chelsea completes first deadline day signing for Pochettino

Manchester City’s attacking midfielder, Cole Palmer, has completed his move to Chelsea.

The Blues have announced the signing of the youngster in a £45 million deal.

Palmer joined Manchester City at the age of eight and has now left after 13 years at the club.

Both clubs agreed on a £40m upfront payment, plus a possible £5m in add-ons.

He is the 16th signing for the Blues under Todd Boehly.

Chelsea has now spent more than £1 billion since Todd Boehly bought the club in May 2022.
