In this fun and fact-filled book, Football Superstar's dynamic duo, Dan and Simon tell the story of the rise of Cole Palmer, England's attacking midfielder who has lit up the Premier League with Chelsea. They chart the Englishman's rise to superstardom, from his early days coming up through the Manchester City youth academy to his debut for City in 2020 and his subsequent move to Chelsea in 2023, where he chalked up 27 goals and 15 assists in all competitions in his first season. Palmer's stunning performances for England at the 2024 EUROs have catapulted him to superstardom. Along the way, you'll learn about the people who helped him on his journey, plus get all the exciting facts and stats that make Palmer a global footballing hero.. True to the Football Superstars brand, the book is filled with fun cartoons, inspirational stories, a simple narrative style and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments.
