EPL: Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole name Premier League signing of the Season

Former England internationals, Joe Cole and Rio Ferdinand have named Chelsea’s Cole Palmer as the Premier League ‘signing of the season’.

Recall that Chelsea signed Palmer from Premier League champions Manchester City last summer.

England forward has been impressive for Chelsea so far this season, scoring a hat-trick in their recent 4-3 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

“I said it [that Palmer is the signing of the season] after the game in the height of excitement and I’m sober today and I still think it… I think so,” Cole told TNT Sports

On his part, Ferdinand added, “Yeah, I think he has to be [the signing of the season].

“[Alexis] Mac Allister has put in a case towards now. He scored a great goal the other day.

“At the business end of the season, he has come to the fore.But I think if you look at the numbers this kid [Palmer] has put up, he’s a young boy as well.”
