Chelsea have bolstered their attacking options by completing the initial £40m signing of Cole Palmer from Manchester City, who in turn have added Matheus Nunes from Wolves for £53m to their squad, the midfielder becoming the champions’ fourth major summer signing.
Palmer became the 13th player to move to Stamford Bridge this transfer window as the winger 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 last month. Chelsea are also without Mykhaylo Mudryk and Carney Chukwuemeka for Nottingham Forest’s visit on Saturday.
