Cole Palmer could still be at Manchester City – Revelation of surprise loan deal comes from the Netherlands

Cole Palmer could still be at Manchester City, if PSV Eindhoven had been successful in a very ambitious transfer attempt for him last summer.

That’s according to Algemeen Dagblad, who report that the new Dutch champions tried to get the forward before he ended up at Chelsea.

Palmer has been one of the revelations of the season after deciding to swap Manchester City for Chelsea in a €47m deal in the summer.
