About Cole Palmer
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, shooting and passing ability, he is widely regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the world. 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 that year for a fee of £40 million and enjoyed a breakout debut season, earning multiple honours—including the PFA Fans' Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards. In 2025, Palmer helped Chelsea win both the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup, being named man of the match in both finals and receiving the Golden Ball in the latter. 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.
