Cole Palmer’s friend says he will get the player back ‘home’ to his favourite team, suggesting it’s Manchester United.
I’m sure Palmer will not be too grateful to his pal for writing this on his Instagram account this week, after Palmer first initially shared a photo of the two of them.
I’m sure this story does not need any more fuel added to it, so Palmer will not be too pleased with his buddy for stoking this fire up.
Palmer has been linked with United a lot in recent times, even though some have done their best to squash this story. It seems pretty clear that the rumours and links are just not going to go away.
As you can see above, Palmer’s friend, known as ‘Tunde’ on Instagram, posted the image along with the comment:
‘1 day i will get CP to UTD back home where he belongs. Go ask him who his favourite team is.’
Well, Tunde, I’m not sure whether you, or United, would be able to afford the massive fee that it would take to even make Chelsea think about selling Cole Palmer, who has a long contract at the club. Have you got a spare £180m perhaps!?
Reece James had a really nice interview today with Chelsea where he spoke a little about growing up in a football crazy family.
Liam Rosenior’s bond with his players is becoming clear, and in particular his bond with Andrey Santos is notable.
