The co-sporting directors reflected on the unexpected success of their efforts, stating, 'There was a feeling that 'no, Cole Palmer won't be for sale'. Yet, as the transfer window closed, they decided to pursue him further, which resulted in a surprising and favorable outcome."
Palmer, who expressed a desire for regular playtime, shared that he had not anticipated a permanent departure from City, but emphasized, 'I want to play football week in, week out'. His move to Chelsea was propelled by that ambition.
Stewart acknowledged the success of capturing Palmer, noting, 'We'd been speaking about him throughout that window... there seemed to be a little bit of feedback that there could be something there', illustrating the persistence behind the transfer.
