Cole Palmer, currently with Chelsea, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Manchester City . The midfielder could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Manchester City are progressing without added pressure. So far this season, Manchester City are steady at both ends (2.14 goals scored per game, 0.9 goals conceded per game). The role for Cole Palmer would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Chelsea have also been linked with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sandro Tonali and Othmane Maamma while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Wesley Franca, Michael Olabode Kayode and Max Alleyne.
