Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has reacted to Manchester City’s decision to let Cole Palmer join Chelsea this summer.

Palmer had his medical at Stamford Bridge on Thursday before completing a summer move from Man City to Chelsea.

A deal of around £40-£45m was agreed between the two clubs for the 21-year-old versatile attacker.

So far this season, Palmer has scored two goals in three appearances for the Citizens.

Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino was keen on the club signing a new attacking option ahead of Friday’s summer transfer window deadline.

Merson said he was shocked the Citizens would let Palmer move to a rival club like Chelsea.

“I think he is a good player,” Merson told Sky Sports.

“Yeah, a bit shocked, if I am being honest, a bit shocked, but good signing, good player. He has got a goal about him.

“It’s a good signing.”
