Speaking to Sky Sports (via GOAL), Palmer said: “My thing was to never leave City. That was not my intention. I wanted to go on loan for a year, come back, and be ready for the first team but they said I couldn’t go on loan, either stay or you get sold.
“So then, Chelsea rang me. I said I wanted to go to Chelsea and I’m really happy to be here. I’m very glad I decided to come here.”
Palmer has established himself as a regular player since arriving at Stamford Bridge. He has scored eight goals and provided four assists so far.
