Shirt number assigned- Chelsea seal and announce midfielder transfer done deal

Chelsea have officially announced they have shipped forward Kasey Palmer on a season-long loan deal to Blackburn Rovers.

The 21-year-old ended last season on loan with Derby, scoring twice in 16 appearances.

Palmer, helped Huddersfield Town gain promotion to the Premier League in a previous temporary switch, and last season was part of the Derby County side that reached the Championship play-offs.

The Lewisham native is yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea, having moved to Stamford Bridge while still a trainee from fellow London club Charlton Athletic.

Palmer told Blackburn’s official website: “I’m happy to be here and want to be a part of something exciting.

“Moving forward I want to achieve something special here.

“As soon as I spoke to the manager and heard what he wanted to do here, the way he likes to play and having watched a couple of games last season, I felt it is a club heading in the right direction.”

The midfielder will wear the No 45 shirt at Ewood Park.
