Palmer made a promising tournament debut off the bench in Tuesday’s 0-0 stalemate against Slovenia.
Cole Palmer’s first major tournament as an England player has already lasted longer than the first one he went to as a fan, with Roy Hodgson’s men out of the World Cup by the time he landed in Brazil.
Palmer feels ready to start at the Euros but downplayed the social media clamour for him to play, saying it is nice to hear but “not up to them”.“I wouldn’t say impatient because I know it’s my first tournament,” the England talent said. England have yet to hit their straps at Palmer’s first tournament, but it has already gone better than the first one he went to as a fan.Frank Lampard’s ‘ghost goal’ against Germany in their 2010 World Cup exit is his first international memory and four years later he went to visit his grandad, Gary, in Brazil for the next edition.
The 22-year-old says his success since swapping Pep Guardiola’s perennial champions Manchester City for Chelsea has surpassed expectations and credits Mauricio Pochettino for helping him sparkle.
