Cole Palmer, one of the biggest performers in English football last season, has marked his arrival in international soccer. The former Manchester City player’s wish was granted by the City coach Pep Guardiola who let him go from the team after he was determined to start games.

The playmaker carried a suffering Chelsea side scoring 27 goals and providing 15 assists in all competitions. Palmer is now entrusted with national duties as England go into 2024 Euros as the favorites.

It could be difficult for Palmer to get into the starting XI, but with the player’s resilience, he is expected to cut through at some point. Palmer’s family is credited for their sacrifice to make him what he is today. Let’s delve deeper into the star’s family life and love life.

Family of Cole Palmer: All you need to know

Cole Palmer was born on May 6th, 2002 in Wythenshawe, Manchester. His parents Jermaine Palmer and Marie Palmer helped him chase his dream to become a soccer star. His father Jermaine was born in the same City as Cole in 1974 and is a dental engineer while his mother is a dyslexia assessor and previously worked with children at Sure Start Centres.

Palmer’s paternal roots trace to the Caribbean islands of St Kitts and Neves where his grandfather Sterry Cole belonged. Sterry came to England in 1960 due to the Windrush generation movement. That’s why Cole Palmer also has the St Kitts flag on his boots occasionally.
