“He shocked me with this” – Kieran Trippier can’t believe what Chelsea star did to him after training with him for the first time
Keiran Trippier, a defender for Newcastle, acknowledged that Cole Palmer, a midfielder for Chelsea, has impressed him.
Palmer’s incredible first season at Chelsea earned him a call-up to the England Euro squad’s provisional roster.
Cole Palmer was the player in the England training camp who most impressed Trippier, according to his assessment.
Trippier praised the young Chelsea star’s talent after working with him for the first time with the Three Lions. He even acknowledged that he was excited to play alongside the 22-year-old.
“It’s the first time I’ve trained with Cole; he’s really surprised me – a top-quality player,” said Trippier.
“It’s just how he finds the pockets [of space]. His awareness for where other people are and how clever he is for such a young age.
“It’s the first time I’ve trained with him this week, I am really happy that I’ve trained with him, he’s been quality.”
