Palmer revealed that he has always been drawn to the No.10 jersey and was inspired by two football legends: Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney. He has worn the number since his childhood and likes the iconic status it holds in the football world.
Regarding Mykhailo Mudryk, who previously wore the No.10 jersey, Palmer has not spoken to him yet but plans to do so when the time is right. Mudryk is facing a potential four-year ban due to a doping offence.
Palmer is currently in contention for the 2024-25 PFA Player of the Year award after contributing to Chelsea's success in the Conference League and securing a spot in the Champions League for the next season. Despite the pressure to lead the team to victory, Palmer remains calm and enjoys every moment of the game.
He stays grounded by doing the same things he did before joining Chelsea, including playing five-a-side and visiting the astro turf for casual games. Palmer's approach to football is to treat it as just a game, not a matter of life and death.
