Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has expressed shock over Manchester City’s decision to allow Cole Palmer join Chelsea.
Palmer will have his medical at Stamford Bridge on Thursday before completing a summer move from Man City to Chelsea.
A deal of around £40-£45m has been agreed between the two clubs for the 21-year-old versatile attacker.
Palmer has scored two goals in three appearances this season.
Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino is keen on bringing in a new attacking option ahead of Friday’s summer transfer window deadline.
“I think he is a good player,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“Yeah, a bit shocked, if I am being honest, a bit shocked, but good signing, good player. He has got a goal about him.
“It’s a good signing.”
