Reasons Cole Palmer looks destined for the top

The reasons Cole Palmer looks destined for the top, cut across his stints at Manchester city and currently Chelsea. The Manchester born attacker, started playing for Manchester city from the under eight level, and quickly elevated through the youth rank to the senior level.

Pep Guardiola started calling on him and he would always produce performances of someone who looks destined for the top. His performances made the coach trust him into even big games and he had never disappointed. He scored ‘Big goals’ during his time with the Citizens, including scoring in cup finals.

Reasons Cole Palmer looks destined for the top

One of the reasons Cole Palmer looks destined for the top is, his turning up in big games. He scored the deciding goal in the community shield and European super cup final.

He produced arguably his most iconic performance during the UEFA Super Cup final in 2023. Manchester city had fallen behind from a first half goal from sevilla’s marksman, Yousseff En-Nesyri. But palmer restored parity in the second half. He made a run behind the sevilla defense and headed home a cross from Rodri.

Man city went on to win that game on penalties, and Palmer was adjudged Man of the match. He became the first English player under age 21, after Michael Owen to score in both the community shield and UEFA Super Cup. After the game football fans eulogized him and tipped him to reach the very top of professional football.

Another reason Cole Palmer looks destined for the top is, his current exploits at Chelsea. Palmer made the move to Chelsea on transfer deadline day, after winning the treble (Premier League, champions league and Uefa Super Cup) with the Citizens.

The 21 year old has become an instant hit in the 2023/2024 Premier League season. He has become the spark in a rather dull Chelsea team, scoring 20 premier league goals so far; making him at par with Halaand on top of the Premier League scoring chart.

Cole palmer’s consistency in front of goal and ‘Big game’ player personality, look set to propel him to the top of modern football. He looks set to go within the levels attained by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

One could argue he is too young to be compared to the these two legends, or he is only in his first season of playing regular football, but these arguments are just mere conceptions. Hence should Palmer persevere, he looks destined for the top.
