Palmer did not believe he could go to EURO 2024 at the beginning of the season

Cole Palmer helped Chelsea with a goal and an assist to win against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge with another fine performance of the kind he has become accustomed to this season. The 21-year-old warned after the game that there is still more potential to come from Chelsea's young squad.  

 "I think there's so much talent at Chelsea. The fans don't see it, you guys don't see it. But I think the way that the manager works us on the training pitch, it is only going to get better. If not next season, the season after. It's a project, everyone is young and trying to play well. You will see it sooner or later," he said.

Elsewhere, Gareth Southgate was in the stands watching the game and took note of the Englishman ahead of England's upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer is knocking on the door of the national team to go to the next EURO 2024 with England, although he himself did not expect this call at the beginning of the season.

 “If you told me at the start of the season I’d have a chance of being at the Euros I would not have believed you. But I’m not really focusing on that,” said Palmer after the game.
