Johnson baffled by Chelsea deal for Palmer

Former Chelsea fullback Glen Johnson is unsure about new signing Cole Palmer.

Palmer left Manchester City for Chelsea last week.

Johnson told BetFred: "Being completely honest, I had never seen him play before his debut for Chelsea.

"To pay 45 million for a player with his level of experience sounds absolutely bonkers, but the club must be incredibly excited by his potential to offer Manchester City that sort of money.

"On the face of it, it seems like a very risky transfer but only time will tell if Cole can justify the money that Chelsea spent on him."
