Rio Ferdinand praised Cole Palmer's impressive skills and sees him as a potential unexpected contender for England's team in Euro 2024.
During the summer, Palmer left Manchester City and joined Chelsea. Since then, he has become an essential component in Mauricio Pochettino’s offensive strategy.
During a lackluster season for Chelsea, Palmer has stood out with 22 moments of contribution in the Premier League (14 goals, eight assists).
Ferdinand has taken notice of the way the 21-year-old plays the game, as well as his exceptional talent.
On TNT Sports, Ferdinand complimented a great performer while previewing the Chelsea vs Manchester United game. According to him, the performer has been the talk of the town in a few WhatsApp groups he is a part of.
A buddy of mine compared him to a player similar to Chris Waddle. He possesses exceptional expertise, his poise is entrancing, and it's absolutely astonishing.
Ferdinand thought it was impressive that Palmer chose to leave City and take a risk by moving to London.
Ferdinand remarked that transitioning from City to this new place is a considerable leap, both in regards to self-assurance and the unyielding conviction this youngster possesses. He could have settled for security by remaining at City to participate in some matches and come out triumphantly with trophies.
He arrived here, taking a chance without knowing what might happen. He has been involved in 21 goals.
A truly remarkable ability.
Having the right mindset and mentality is crucial to support your skills and abilities. The person being referred to possesses these traits and can maintain the same attitude in any setting.
It's amazing to witness him taking the spotlight as the primary contributor to the team, especially since he's still very young.
Gareth Southgate, who is in charge of the English national football team, has a group of gifted attacking players that he can select from. Ferdinand believes that Palmer, who is not as well-known as some other players, may be able to make a significant contribution to the team during the upcoming European Championship.
"England can definitely rely on him," Ferdinand expressed. "He is an excellent choice."
He is a person who may not be widely recognized on the global or continental level.
"He has the potential to be a valuable asset on a global level."
