Cole Jermaine Palmer (born 6 May 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Premier League club Chelsea and the England national team. Known for his dribbling, playmaking and composure, he is regarded as one of the best young players in the world.[9]
An academy graduate of Manchester City, Palmer made his senior debut for the club in 2020, and was later part of their squad that won a continental treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in 2023. He signed for Chelsea in 2023 for a fee of £40 million and had a breakout debut season in which he was rewarded with several awards, including both the PFA Fans' Player of the Year and the Young Player of the Year.[10]
Palmer has represented England across various youth levels, including winning the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, before making his senior debut in the same year. He represented his country at UEFA Euro 2024, scoring the equalising goal in the final.
