“Before Phil there wasn't really anyone but when you see someone do it, You think, ‘Right if he can do it, then why can't I do it?’” Champions League start soon come? Cole Palmer is ready to follow in Phil Foden’s footsteps. ⭐️
Cole Palmer’s face lights up when he tells the story of how he was first scouted. Around six years of age, Palmer was playing for local team NJ Wythenshawe and loving every minute of it.
“So then I said to my dad, ‘Can I play or what?’ He's like, ‘Yeah, if you want’ - so then I went and played. City, Palmer’s boyhood club, came calling. He joined City at under-9’s level and still only slight in his frame, he had difficulty when coming up against those who were bigger and stronger. “When I was playing for local team I would just dribble past everyone who was not as good,” he explained.
For Palmer, it was always football. When asked what he would be doing if he wasn’t a footballer, he replied, “I don’t know, you tell me!”. “I stayed down a year for the [under] 18’s and all the other players went up. They were saying, ‘If the penny’s gonna drop it’s got to drop now’. It must have dropped. I started working hard and from there just carried on going on.”
