Hammers boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his attacking midfield ranks at the London Stadium before the start of next season.
And wouldn’t Man City star Palmer just be an exceptional addition for West Ham.
The 20-year-old is one of the best and most exciting young players on the planet. However, his path to regular first-team football at The Etihad is clearly littered with obstacles.
A move to the London Stadium might just be a good move for Palmer at this stage of his career…
West Ham eyeing surprise Cole Palmer swoop
According to Claret and Hugh, the 20-year-old Manchester City starlet is firmly on the Hammers’ transfer radar.
Palmer is well-known by Rob Newman from the time that he spent working at The Etihad.
Man City do not want to sell the attacking midfielder, and view him as a long-term Kevin De Bruyne replacement.
However, West Ham are allegedly in contact with City about bringing him to the club this summer, and are ready to make a bid for his services.
Cole Palmer would be a stunning addition for West Ham in my opinion. He is technically brilliant and has that Pep Guardiola DNA engrained into his psyche.
The Man City youngster is left footed but is strong with his right as well. He is an attacking midfielder by trade but can also operate on both wings if need be.
The 20-year-old has bagged four goals and one assist in 35 games for Manchester City (Transfermarkt). The youngster really does need to be playing regular first-team football soon though, if he is to fulfil his potential.
And I think that a move to East London would be great for Palmer this summer.
