Harry Kane Backs Cole Palmer for Euro 2024 Spot
England captain Harry Kane has urged manager Gareth Southgate to include young star Cole Palmer in the final squad for Euro 2024.
Palmer Shines in Warm-up Win
Palmer marked his first England start with a goal in a 3-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Chelsea playmaker’s penalty broke the deadlock after a frustrating first half for the Three Lions. This impressive performance follows a stellar season at club level, where he earned the Premier League Young Player of the Year award.
Southgate to Decide Palmer’s Fate
Southgate will announce his final 26-man squad on Saturday, following England’s last warm-up match against Iceland. Kane believes Palmer’s recent form makes him a valuable asset for the Euros. “He’s had an unbelievable season,” Harry Kane said of the youngster speaking to Channel 4.
While Palmer stole the headlines with his goal, Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze also impressed. Pundits praised Eze’s creativity and dribbling skills. Southgate acknowledged the contributions of both players, highlighting their freedom and attacking threat.
