Palmer, 21,\u00a0emerged as a late target for Chelsea heading into the final days of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
Mauricio Pochettino\u00a0has signed off on a move for the England U21 international, eager to bring in another attacking option before Friday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n
The Athletic now report that Chelsea have agreed a deal with City to sign Palmer and the west Londoners are set to pay around \u00a340-\u00a345m.<\/p>\n
Assuming Palmer passes a medical, which he is set to undergo in the next 24 hours, he just needs to agree personal terms with the Blues.<\/p>\n
That does not seem to be a problem with reports indicating that Palmer has already said yes to the move and is thought to be ready for a new chapter.<\/p>\n
Palmer has three years left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium and while Pep Guardiola was open to keeping him, first-team opportunities were likely to come at a premium given City\u2019s options in attack.<\/p>\n
Palmer has managed 10 minutes of Premier League action this term, coming off the bench in the opening day victory over Burnley.<\/p>\n
He also started the Super Cup final against Sevilla, getting on the scoresheet before City went onto win 5-4 on penalties.<\/p>\n
Palmer has made 41 appearances in all competitions for City since making his senior debut in September 2020, with 19 of those coming in the league.<\/p>\n
