England international Cole Palmer has revealed his football idol. Since joining Chelsea from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, Palmer has been outstanding, emerging as a key player in a way few expected.
His impact on the team mirrors that of former Blues winger Eden Hazard, who dazzled fans after Chelsea’s Champions League victory in 2012.
Palmer expressed his admiration for Hazard, saying he would love to play alongside him. He acknowledged their differing styles but emphasized his desire to bring the same excitement to the game.
“If I could play with one Chelsea icon, it would definitely be Eden Hazard,” he told The Premier League on YouTube. “Our games are different, but I try to be as exciting as Hazard.”
