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. He is considered one of the best young players in Europe.[2][3]

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. That season, he scored 22 goals and assisted 17,[4] earning him the club's Player of the Season as well as Premier League Young Player of the Season.

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.

Early and personal life

Cole Jermaine Palmer[5] was born on 6 May 2002[6] in Wythenshawe, Manchester.[7] He grew up in Wythenshawe with one sister, raised by a dental engineer father and a dyslexia assessor mother.[8] Palmer's father played Sunday league football for nearly two decades, and Palmer regularly watched him.[8] Palmer was privately educated at St Bede's College in partnership with Manchester City Academy.[9]

Palmer is of Afro-Kittitian descent on his father's side of the family.[10] His grandfather emigrated in 1960, while his great-grandparents were part of the Windrush generation, migrating five years earlier.[8] Palmer emblazoned his boots with the flag of England and the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis.[8]

Club career

Early career

Palmer in 2016

Despite being a Manchester United fan,[8] Palmer joined Manchester City at under-eight level and progressed through the Academy age groups before captaining the under-18s during the 2019–20 season.[11] He had faced concerns from the age of 14 that his physique was too slight for professional football, and academy coaches wanted to release him at 16, but academy director Jason Wilcox rejected their decision.[8]

Manchester City

On 30 September 2020, Palmer made his first-team debut for City in a 3–0 away win over Burnley in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.[12] He scored his first goal on 21 September 2021 in a 6–1 home win over League One team Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup.[13] On 16 October, Palmer made an appearance in the Premier League against Burnley, and found himself playing and scoring a hat-trick for City's under-23 side that same night.[14] On 19 October, Palmer scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 5–1 away win over Club Brugge.[15] On 7 January 2022, Palmer scored on his FA Cup debut in a 4–1 away win over League Two team Swindon Town.[16]

On 6 August 2023, Palmer scored the first goal in the 2023 FA Community Shield against Arsenal, after coming on for Erling Haaland as a second-half substitute.[17] However, Arsenal scored in stoppage time and eventually won the match in a penalty shoot-out.[18] Ten days later, Palmer scored his final goal for Manchester City, which was an equaliser in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, which Manchester City won 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out after the match finished 1–1.[19]

Chelsea
