Cole Palmer ready to shine for England whenever called upon by Gareth Southgate

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.

Now, a decade on, the Chelsea star is ready to shine for the national team whenever called upon as Gareth Southgate’s side step up their quest for Euro 2024 glory.

Palmer made a promising tournament debut off the bench in Tuesday’s 0-0 stalemate against Slovenia, which saw England top Group C and set-up Sunday’s last-16 clash with Slovakia.
