Chelsea and Manchester City have reached an agreement for Cole Palmer, according to The Athletic. The west London club will pay a fee in the region of £40-£45million for the England Under-21 international. The 21-year-old is now expected to undergo a medical in the next 24 hours.
Palmer scored in the FA Community Shield defeat to Arsenal to close out pre-season but has only featured twice since starting and scoring in the UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla and coming off the bench in the opening-weekend Premier League victory against Burnley.
Balogun leaves Arsenal for Monaco
Folarin Balogun has completed his move from Arsenal to Monaco in a transfer worth €40million (£34.4m; $43.4m). The two clubs agreed a fee of €30m plus up to €10m in add-ons for the USMNT striker, and Arsenal have inserted a significant sell-on clause into the deal. The 22-year-old had a medical on Tuesday and has now signed a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 club.
Balogun spent last season on loan at Stade Reims in France, scoring 21 Ligue 1 goals in 37 appearances but has been clear he wants first-team football. He made just two Premier League appearances during his time at Arsenal, and played a total of ten first-team matches across all competitions, scoring two goals.
Despite playing for England at youth level, up to the Under-21s, Balogun — who was born in the United States to Nigerian parents — opted to switch to the USMNT in May. He has played twice for the USMNT since his switch and scored against Canada in the Nations League final in June.

TalkSPORT has reported that the German giants are in talks over a move for Trevor Chalobah and made inquiries into a deal for Gallagher as well. The report has indicated that Thomas Tuchel is pushing the move for both players although the Bavarians have only made initial contact over a move….READFULL
