“Messi is the chief. Runi and other such players,” Palmer admitted, talking about his football idols.
He also explained why the 10th number is important to him:
“It’s just a cult number. I wore him all my childhood and I just like it.”
Separately, Palmer commented on a possible conversation with his team partner Mikhail Mudrik, who belonged to the “ten” in Chelsea:
“I have not been talking to Misha Wise on this, but at the right time I will do it. Now to interfere with his situation is not my business. I will talk to him.”
In the 2024/25 campaign, the attacker spent 46 matches, scored 15 goals and made 12 assistants.
Earlier it was reported that David Fafan will leave Chelsea.
