Cole Palmer: Rising Star and England’s Key Player

Fresh off being crowned the England Player of the Year for 2024, Cole Palmer has established himself as an essential part of the national team. As England gears up for World Cup qualification, Palmer’s role will undoubtedly be pivotal.

Thomas Tuchel Takes the Helm of the Three Lions

The national team will now march forward under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea manager who recently departed Bayern Munich. While rumors of his return to Chelsea during the summer didn’t gain much traction, the Blues have instead struck gold with Enzo Maresca, who’s thriving in his debut Premier League role.

Tuchel’s Admiration for Palmer

Tuchel is known to hold Palmer in high regard. Speaking to Sky Sports, the German tactician described the Chelsea star as “cool and composed,” highlighting his knack for clinical finishing and precise assists.

“He’s definitely on form,” Tuchel shared. “I think everyone would agree on that. Hopefully, he can continue growing and maintain this level—it’s been truly impressive.”

Palmer’s Role in Tuchel’s England Squad

Palmer has been a standout performer for Chelsea this season, frequently playing in a central attacking role that positions him at the core of the team’s offensive moves.

Competition for Key Positions

For England, however, the competition in that central role is fierce. Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden both have strong claims to that position. On the right, where Palmer has experience as well, Bukayo Saka currently holds the upper hand.

Noni Madueke Could Stake a Claim

Meanwhile, Palmer’s Chelsea teammate Noni Madueke has made his case with a string of excellent performances for England, adding further intrigue to the lineup.

As Chelsea fans eagerly anticipate the future, the prospect of Palmer thriving under Tuchel’s guidance as England manager only adds to their excitement. The 2025 season could truly be one to remember for both club and country.
