Cole Palmer’s Top 5 Players of All Time… (Well, Top 4 🤯)

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer has gone viral again — this time not for a goal or assist, but for a TikTok where he was asked to name his Top 5 players of all time.

Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Palmer looked like he was sat an exam 🤔… thinking really hard before slowly dropping his choices one by one. By the end, it seemed like he’d used up every brain cell just to get to four names 😂.

Before we get to the list, let’s not forget how good he’s been:

• 🏆 Club World Cup winner with Chelsea + Golden Ball award.
• ⚽ 45 goals/assists in his first 100 games for the club.
• 🦁 Becoming a regular for England.

Basically, he’s earned the right to chat about GOATs.
