Chelsea are looking to sign Cole Palmer from Manchester City before the transfer window closes. Palmer, 21, is an England Under-21 international and has emerged as a late transfer target for the London club.
Mauricio Pochettino is eager to bring in another attacking option and has signed off on a move for the youngster. City, however, have rejected the Blues' £35 million opening bid and are asking for £50 million.
The two clubs are reportedly close to an agreement, likely to settle on a fee of around £45 million. Palmer has three years left on his contract at the Eithad Stadium and has made 41 appearances in all competitions for City since his debut in September 2020.
Meanwhile, City are also set to make a major addition to their squad before deadline day. They have reached a verbal agreement with Wolves over midfielder Matheus Nunes, with a £60 million deal now being struck.
Nunes has refused to train this week in an effort to force through the move, while another promising City youngster, Tommy Doyle, is also set to join Wolves in a £5 million deal. The deal will include a 50 per cent sell-on clause. Final details of the transfer are still being discussed.
