Palmer telling £60M star to join him at Chelsea
Cole Palmer has been attempting to persuade Ollie Watkins to join him at Chelsea, it has been claimed in the media.
The pair have spent the last six weeks together with England, scoring crucial goals in their run to the final. The tournament ended in heartbreak for the Three Lions and the players will now return to their clubs.
Watkins has a deal at Aston Villa until 2028 but has been linked with a move away, and although Chelsea’s hunt for a striker has gone quiet in recent weeks – according to Football Insider, Palmer has been trying to get Watkins to join him at Stamford Bridge.
Reporter Iomie Stanley said that Watkins would bring goals to the club: ‘Watkins has shown immense potential and proven himself as one of the most dynamic forwards in the Premier League. His signing could address multiple needs for CHELSEA and significantly enhance their squad’s capabilities.
‘Watkins has consistently demonstrated his ability to perform at the highest level. Since joining Aston Villa, he has been a constant threat to opposition defenses, known for his pace, versatility, and goal-scoring prowess. Watkins scored 20 league goals last season, showcasing his clinical finishing and ability to perform against top-tier teams. This proven track record in the Premier League makes him a reliable option, reducing the risk associated with foreign imports who might need time to adapt to the league’s intensity.
‘Watkins could provide the cutting edge in attack that CHELSEA need to compete for top honors, making his signing a priority for the club this transfer window.’
