The 22-year-old heads to Ashton Gate having spent the first part of the
campaign at fellow Championship side Blackburn, where he scored three
goals in 17 appearances.
An attacking midfielder, Palmer won both the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth
League with the Chelsea Academy.
He becomes the third Chelsea loanee to join Bristol City this campaign,
following Tomas Kalas and Jay Dasilva. The West Country side are currently
11th in the Championship table.
Palmer has also been on loan at Huddersfield Town and Derby County. In
July 2016, he joined Championship club Huddersfield Town on a season-long
loan and featured regularly for David Wagner's side as they challenged
towards the top of the table before he picked up an injury which kept him
sidelined for a lengthy period. He returned just in time to play a part in
Huddersfield's play-off triumph at Wembley, replacing Chelsea colleague
Izzy Brown in extra-time.
In July 2017 it was announced Palmer had signed a new contract at Chelsea
committing him to the club until 2021, and he would be returning to
Huddersfield on loan.
The loan ended in January 2018 when he joined Championship side Derby
County on loan until the end of the season. He played 16 times for the
Rams, scoring twice, as they reached the Championship play-off
semi-finals.
Academy striker Ike Ugbo has completed his loan spell at Scunthorpe United
where he played 16 times and scored once.
