Palmer Key to Future Plans
Chelsea consider 23-year-old playmaker Cole Palmer “untouchable” despite reported interest from Manchester United. The England international, who is contracted until 2033, is regarded as a central figure in the club’s long-term future according to Sky Sports.
Palmer has established himself as one of the Premier League’s brightest talents since his move from Manchester City and Chelsea are determined to keep him as part of their project under current management.
Sterling Exit Talks Progressing
Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling is expected to leave before the January transfer window closes. Both parties are in discussions regarding an exit for the 31-year-old former England international Fabrizio Romano reports.
Sterling’s departure would free up wages and potentially squad space as Chelsea look to reshape their attacking options in the second half of the season.
West Ham Eye Disasi and Kinsky
West Ham are interested in deals for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi and Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky according to The Guardian. However any moves would likely require the Hammers to send Brazilian defender Igor Julio back to Brighton.
The 27-year-old Julio is currently on loan at West Ham and his return to Brighton could help facilitate both incoming transfers for the London club.
Chelsea continue to manage their squad carefully in the final days of the window balancing potential departures with the retention of key talents like Palmer.
