Deal a boost for manager Mauricio PochettinoCallum Hudson-Odoi on verge of joining Nottingham Forest
Chelsea have bolstered their attacking options by completing the initial £40m signing of Cole Palmer from Manchester City. The winger is the 13th player to move to Stamford Bridge this summer and has signed a seven-year deal with the option of an extra year.
The deal is a boost for Mauricio Pochettino, who has been pushing Chelsea to buy an attacking player since losing Christopher Nkunku to a long-term knee injury earlier this month. Chelsea are also without Mykhailo Mudryk and Carney Chukwuemeka before hosting Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
