Settling into Life at Chelsea

Cole Palmer, the 21-year-old forward, has opened up about his transition from Manchester to London as he settles in at Chelsea. While he admits to struggling with the bumper-to-bumper traffic in the capital, Palmer is hopeful that his move to Chelsea will give him an advantage in securing a spot in Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 finals squad.

Impressive Start at Stamford Bridge

Since his arrival at Chelsea, Palmer has wasted no time impressing manager Mauricio Pochettino. He has quickly become one of the standout players for the Blues and has even earned his first senior England call-up. With his strong performances, Palmer's dream of playing in the Euros next year seems very achievable.

A Whirlwind Few Months

Palmer reflects on the whirlwind few months he has had, which included winning the Under-21 Euros in July, signing for Chelsea for £40 million, and making his debut for the Three Lions. He describes the experience as "crazy" but exciting.

Adjusting to London Life

Despite the challenges of moving to a new city, Palmer has settled into life in London and is enjoying his time at Chelsea. He has already scored four goals in just nine Premier League matches, all of them from the penalty spot.

Penalty King

Palmer's penalty-taking ability has been a standout feature of his game. Despite not practicing penalties regularly, he has shown nerves of steel when taking them and has converted each one with ease. His latest goal came in a 4-4 draw against his former club, Manchester City.

Support from Raheem Sterling

Palmer's former teammate at Manchester City, Raheem Sterling, has been a mentor to him at Chelsea. Palmer refers to Sterling as his "big brother" and believes they have a natural chemistry on the pitch.

Remaining Focused

Despite the pressure of his rapid rise, Palmer remains focused and relaxed on the pitch. He credits his father for his success, as they spent countless hours practicing together when he was younger. Making his England debut would be a major milestone for Palmer and his family, but he understands the importance of performing well at the club level first.

Hopes for the Euros

While Palmer would love to represent England in the Euros, he knows he faces tough competition from other talented attackers. However, he is determined to showcase his skills and prove that he deserves a spot in the squad.
