Former footballer Carlton Palmer has shared his thoughts on the situation surrounding Plymouth Argyle’s talented goalkeeper Michael Cooper, who has attracted interest from Crystal Palace and Coventry City. With less than a year left on his current contract and rejecting a new deal with the club, Argyle faces a challenge in retaining him. While Sheffield United has also shown interest, Cooper remains a key asset whom Plymouth manager Wayne Rooney hopes to keep for the upcoming season.
Palmer believes that due to his contract situation, Plymouth may opt to sell Cooper this summer. He sees Coventry City as a strong option for the goalkeeper, given their upward trajectory under Mark Robins and potential for promotion. In contrast, a move to Crystal Palace might see Cooper on the bench without regular playing time. Despite the uncertainties, Palmer emphasizes the importance of Cooper securing a starting role to continue his career progression.
Ultimately, Cooper faces a crucial decision regarding his future, with potential opportunities at both Coventry and Crystal Palace. As negotiations intensify due to his contract winding down, the young goalkeeper must consider his long-term development and playing time in making his next move.
