Palmer has made a significant impact at Stamford Bridge since transferring from City last summer. Despite the London team’s disappointing season, he has impressively netted 23 goals across all competitions, propelling himself to Premier League stardom.
Yet, Palmer’s trajectory could have diverged had it not been for Chelsea’s intervention. West Ham vice-chairman Brady disclosed that the Hammers had made a successful bid for Palmer, agreed upon by City. However, Chelsea swooped in and secured his services with a hefty £42.5 million ($54m) deal.
In her article for The Sun, Brady remarked, “From all the newsreels I’ve seen, Cole is as cool a dude in front of goal as Jimmy Greaves himself. Which is probably why David Moyes tried very hard to sign him. We even had a deal agreed with City until Chelsea swooped.”
Palmer will aim to unsettle his former club as Chelsea face City in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday. The victor will progress to confront either Manchester United or Coventry in the final at Wembley.
