Chelsea – West Ham: Summary and goals of the match

“We could have signed Cole Palmer“

Based on superb performances, Cole Palmer has become the great revelation of this Premier League and the standard bearer of the new Chelsea. However, in the words of David Moyes himself, the Englishman was close to arriving at the London Stadium last summer as a replacement for Lucas Paquetá.

“We were close, very close. You can probably imagine the other part, where there was a possibility that someone left here (Lucas Paquetá), which could have made the operation come to fruition. He was in regular contact with the agent and his entourage, in general. We were on the right track, but in the end it changed and we couldn’t do it,” commented the English coach at a press conference.
