Cole Palmer scored in England’s Euro 2024 final loss to Spain and showed his mentality mere days later.

Cole Palmer has gone up even further in people’s estimations three days after the Euro 2024 final.

The Chelsea star came off the bench to score England’s goal in the 2-1 loss to Spain in Berlin.

He slotted home from outside the box after a lay-off from Jude Bellingham to equalise and send England fans into raptures behind the goal.

It wasn’t to be as Mikel Oyarzabal popped up with a late winner for La Roja, who won the Euros for the fourth time.

But despite not starting a single game in Germany, Palmer had an impressive tournament – evidenced by his game-winning assist for Ollie Watkins in the semi final against the Netherlands and his ice-cold penalty in the previous round against Switzerland.

He carried on his excellent form for Chelsea, where he won the Premier League’s Young Player of the Season award after scoring 22 goals and providing 11 assists.

Yet even with the devastation of suffering a defeat in the final, Palmer is not sitting around feeling sorry for himself.

The 22-year-old has been filmed in the gym just days after the heartbreaking loss.

Posted on Instagram by relative @Palmers_PT, the former Manchester City playmaker can be seen performing dumbbell lifts in the gym.

Palmer has been given time off following the tournament but is building up his strength before he returns to Chelsea for pre-season.

After flourishing under Mauricio Pochettino, Palmer will now link up with new boss Enzo Maresca – who he worked with in the Under 21 side at City.

And it’s claimed that Palmer has been trying to persuade England teammate Watkins to leave Aston Villa and join him at Stamford Bridge.

The two combined for the last-gasp winner against the Netherlands and Palmer is said to be taking on the role of an “agent”.
