Palmer swapped Manchester City for the west London club last summer for a fee in the region of £40milllion.

The youngster went on to be a revelation at Stamford Bridge, playing a key part in Mauricio Pochettino's team, which secured a return to European football after a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.

According to Stats Muse, the 22-year-old scored 22 goals and bagged 11 assists in 33 appearances in the Premier League this season.

His impressive performances earned him a call-up with the England national team ahead of the 2024 Euros in Germany.

Why Palmer's boots have two flags

Interestingly, Palmer was on target in his first full debut for England against Bosnia in a friendly clash played on Tuesday, June 4.

However, it was a key feature on his boots that became a talking point.

The midfielder had his boots featuring two nations' flags, including that of England and the Nevis.

According to GiveMeSport, this critical detail on Palmer's boots stems from his family history.

While having the England flag is explanatory, given that the Chelsea ace was born and raised in the country, it could not immediately be established why the Nevis flag exists.

However, it has since emerged that it has to do with the footballer's father, who traces his roots to the country.

Why palmer is undroppable

Earlier, Sports Brief also reported on Palmer seemingly transcending his impressive form for his club into the England national team.

His first goal for The Three Lions could be seen as a prelude to better things, with the youngster enjoying a flawless record from the penalty spot this season.
