Cole Palmer has shared the driving force behind his success as a football player.
The 21-year-old, who made a noteworthy £42 million move from Manchester City on transfer deadline day, has been having a stellar season with nine goals in the Premier League since joining Stamford Bridge.
In an interview with MailSport, Palmer revealed, “I just like to always have the ball, try and make things happen. When the team is struggling a bit, I just like people to turn to me to try and do something.”
He emphasized that his motivation comes from the encouragement of his manager, stating, “That pushes me, and the manager says ‘be free, express your abilities. Do what you do.’ From a young age, I feel like I’ve scored important goals, even throughout the academies. I’ve always liked that. I know my abilities and stuff, but for it to go like this has surprised me.”
