Palmer's style of play is very similar to that of another young City star, Phil Foden. City boss Pep Guardiola likes left-footed players in the squad. Everybody knows how Pep made Lionel Messi the best left footed player in the world today, when he was the coach of Barcelona. At this point in City's playing style, midfielders have to do everything from scoring goals to making goals. After last season's Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden, this season's Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silvara have been performing their best in that role. Palmer may also be a threat to Guardiola's squad due to the type of play he plays. He could be a worthy successor to Riyad Mahrez in the right wing due to his ability to run box to box to score a goal or to enter the box by cutting in with the right wing. The 189 cm tall Palmer team can also be a great help in set piece situations.
Despite this huge height, Palmer is a blessed dribbler. His ability to run fast can be very helpful in fooling the opposing team's defenders easily and creating opportunities for the team to score goals. Pep Guardiola also considers Palmer to be one of the most humble players in the Manchester City squad because of his skill and hard work. After spending those 4 matches on the sidelines in the 19-20 season, Palmer continued to practice with the City Academy Under-18 team as well as the Man City main team in the 20-21 season. The memorable moment in his life came in the 3rd match after being in 2 match squads this season too. His place in the starting XI against Burnley in the fourth round match of the Carabao Cup on 30 September 2020. Palmer in Turf Moore (Burnley's home ground) played their full 90 minutes in their debut match. Man City won the match 3-0. Palmer didn't score or assist but he did the work.
Palmer made his UEFA Champions League debut in the Citizens' jersey on October 26, 2020, taking the field for 6 minutes at stade Velodrome against Olympic Marseille. After that he spent 5 more matches on the bench for the rest of the 20/21 season but did not play due to the squad depth of the main team. Covid's attack in mid season was also a big reason for his inability to play. After recovering from covid, he returned to his rhythm after playing in Premier League-2 for the Under-23 team. Palmer was one of the heroes in Premier League-2, winning the league title with 13 goals and 8 assists in 16 matches.
Palmer made his Premier League debut at the Etihad Stadium in the Sky Blues' jersey on 21 August 2021 in the 69th minute of the match against Norwich City, replacing Ilkay Gundogan. Since then, Palmer has been practicing almost regularly with the main team and has played in several matches.
In fact, Palmer is still young and improving regularly. Meanwhile, City is also preparing itself for the next decade. Almost all the players from City's first Premier League winning team in the 11-12 season have already left the club, and Pep Guardiola must have realized that it was time to build a new team for the club's future. This future reconstruction project is already underway with players like Phil Foden and Ruben Dias. Palmer's new five-year contract with the Citizens expires in June 2021. Manchester City is currently considered one of the best decisions of his career in history, with the opportunity to learn, grow and train with some of the best players in world football under Pep Guardiola, one of the best teams in the world. Now it is hoped that Cole Palmer will soon become a regular face in the Citizens team and play a key role in the Sky Blues' dream of winning their first Champions League.
