Chelsea striker, Liam Delap has come out to say that he contacted his former Manchester City team-mate Cole Palmer ahead of his transfer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he spent a lot of time with Palmer and Lavia growing up, and he is definitely looking forward to working with both players at his new club.
Delap added that he asked both players for advice on how life as a Chelsea player is, and they’ve told him that he’ll be signing for a great club.
His words, “Obviously, I spent a lot of time with Cole [Palmer] and Romeo [Lavia] when I was young, growing up. I played many games with them and, you know, enjoyed it; and then Levi [Colwill], I played against him hundreds of times as a kid, we’re similar age. So, I’m really excited to come here and start working with them.
Yeah, I spoke to them, of course. I’ve asked them for advice and they’ve told me how great of a place it is.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
