Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo has revealed that he was aware of Cole Palmer's quality years before they became teammates at Stamford Bridge. The centre-back, who spent time at Manchester City as a youngster, revealed that Raheem Sterling had singled out the England man for praise in the past.

Adarabioyo spent his formative years at City, making his professional debut against Chelsea in the FA Cup in 2015. The 27-year-old ended up at Stamford Bridge in the summer as he signed for the Blues for free following a stint with Fulham.

Tosin Adarabioyo told Sky Sports Premier League that he first heard about Cole Palmer from Sterling, with whom he crossed paths at the Etihad Stadium. He revealed that Sterling named Palmer as the one to look out for, particularly for his goalscoring ability.
