Chelsea and England midfielder Cole Palmer received a hero's welcome in his grandfather's birthplace, after winning the Club World Cup and honoring his Caribbean roots.
Chelsea and England star midfielder Cole Palmer received a hero’s welcome on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts and Nevis, following his outstanding performance in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The 23-year-old forward, fresh off a whirlwind few weeks that included meeting U.S. President Donald Trump, scoring twice, clinching the Club World Cup title with Chelsea, made a meaningful stop in his family’s ancestral homeland.
Palmer’s visit marked his first trip to St. Kitts and Nevis, the birthplace of his grandfather, Sterry Palmer.
Arriving with his family, the Manchester-born player was warmly greeted at the airport by Deputy Prime Minister Geoffrey Hanley and Tourism Minister Marsha T. Henderson, both of whom praised his achievements and celebrated his connection to the island.
