Chelsea star Cole Palmer has been ranked as the third-best English footballer in the world right now, behind only Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, as England enters a new era under Thomas Tuchel.

Palmer’s move from Manchester City to Chelsea proved to be a turning point in his career, as he quickly established himself as the main man at Stamford Bridge. His incredible first full season as a starter saw him register 27 goals and 15 assists, showcasing his elite talent.
