Transfer Breakdown
Chelsea are closely monitoring Anton and Bailey Palmer, the 16-year-old twin midfielders from Middlesbrough, as they look to beat competition from Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Brighton for their signatures.
The England Under-17 internationals have gained a reputation as two of the most exciting young talents in the country, and a move to a Premier League club could be on the horizon.
Why This Move?
For Chelsea, the Palmer twins represent long-term investments in their youth setup. The Blues have been actively signing top young prospects, and Anton and Bailey could follow the path of Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei in the academy.
For Middlesbrough, retaining the twins would be ideal, but a Premier League club’s offer could be too tempting to turn down.
Expert Opinion

🗣️ “Chelsea are building for the future with top young signings. The Palmer twins would be another exciting addition.”
Middlesbrough legend Jonathan Woodgate also weighed in:
