Cole Palmer: Chelsea forward says move from Man City is 'paying off' as he eyes England debut

Cole Palmer says his £42.5m summer transfer to Chelsea from Manchester City is "paying off" as he eyes his senior England debut.

The 21-year-old forward has scored four goals and registered four assists in 14 appearances since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

He was called up to the England squad on Monday after injuries to James Maddison, Callum Wilson and Lewis Dunk.

Palmer said he left Treble winners City in search of first-team football.

"It happened fast, to be fair. I spoke to someone at Chelsea and I was speaking to my dad but I really didn't know what to do," Palmer said.
