"It happened fast, to be fair," Palmer said ahead of England's final two Euro 2024 qualifiers, referring to his move. "I spoke to someone at Chelsea and I was speaking to my dad, but I really didn't know what to do. I was just thinking about it for a couple of days, like near enough every minute of the day. But then I just thought for my career, I have to go and try and get regular game time."
