Cole Palmer's next step could shape his Man City career

Manchester City’s next top talent is unquestionably Cole Palmer. The young English midfielder has already made a big name for himself with City fans and many believe that, along with Phil Foden, he is the future of the club – and that the future looks bright.

The 20-year-old started making an impact on the fanbase after a couple of explosive seasons in the reserves. For the under-21s he was scoring close to a goal a game and he contributed with a hatful of assists at the same time. This, combined with his professional attitude, was enough for Pep Guardiola’s approval and he was soon given a first-team debut.

Since then, he has made 28 appearances for City's first team, and scored on his Champions League debut, in a 5-1 demolition of Club Brugge. The youngster has mostly made his appearances off the bench, but he has done enough to impress the boss and solidify himself as a first-team squad member, having earned permanent promotion from the youth squad.
