Anton and Bailey Palmer have announced that they will be leaving Middlesbrough, and TBR Football understands the twins have plenty of Premier League offers.

Back in February, TBR Football confirmed that Chelsea and Tottenham wanted the Palmer twins, and the twins have now opted to leave the Riverside Stadium.

Both youngsters are yet to make their senior debuts, but they did spend time around the first team at Boro, featuring on the bench in the Championship and FA Cup.

The Palmer twins can both sign pro deals next month when they turn 17 and are soon set to confirm their next destination.

Anton and Bailey Palmer confirm decision to leave Middlesbrough

Anton and Bailey Palmer have confirmed that they have both decided to leave Middlesbrough after eight years at the North Yorkshire club.

Both youngsters joined the club aged just eight and are now set to make the step up to a club in the Premier League, where they will continue to develop.

In a joint statement, the twins confirmed on social media: “After eight years at Middlesbrough FC, we have made the decision to leave the club.

“We thank everyone involved in developing us into the players we are today from the medical staff to the coaches. This club will forever be a part of us. We have made memories and friendships for life, but it is now time for us to start a new journey.”

The duo are very highly rated, and it will come as no surprise to learn the list of clubs who are on their trail.
