The 21-year-old player has emerged as a strong contender for England’s Euro 2024 squad and has also become the main attacking asset for Mauricio Pochettino’s team. Despite his goal-scoring drive, it is not motivated by financial gain. In a recent match, Palmer displayed leadership within Pochettino’s team by taking on penalty duties over other players. He successfully converted his ninth penalty of the season.

Pochettino emphasized that there should be no doubt about who takes penalties for the team in the future, stating that Palmer is the designated penalty taker and that it’s up to him if he wants to pass the ball to a teammate. Pochettino expressed disappointment over recent on-pitch incidents and emphasized the need for his young team to learn and act professionally. He stressed the importance of focusing on the collective effort and highlighted that there is still a learning process ahead for the team.
