ENGLAND Under-21 star Cole Palmer is being chased by two Manchester City old boys — Vincent Kompany of Burnley and Leicester’s Enzo Maresca.
Kompany would love to have Palmer on loan at newly-promoted Clarets but City need to be sure the 21-year-old plays enough.
Maresca also wants a loan deal for the attacker — who can play on either side — though there is a feeling he is too good for the Championship.
City will make a decision when he returns from his break after the Euros triumph.
Palmer was handed his City debut by Guardiola in 2020.
He has gone on to make 38 appearances to date for his boyhood club.

Under-21s hero Trafford has shot to fame and Kompany has talked his money men into investing. The guaranteed fee is £13million plus extras.
