William Gallas believes Cole Palmer needs to be more consistent with his form to get to Euro 2024.
The 21-year-old moved from Manchester City to Chelsea in the summer and in a dreadful campaign at Stamford Bridge, the youngster has been a rare bright spot as he has contributed with goals, assists, and inspirational performances.
He was recently included in the England squad for friendlies against Brazil and Belgium by manager Gareth Southgate, and speaking to Genting Casino, former Chelsea defender Gallas challenged Palmer to match his recent performance against Newcastle in future.
He said: “Before last night, he had a few games where he didn’t score, but against Newcastle he looked back to his best and I want to see this version of Cole Palmer for the remainder of the season because he is one of Chelsea’s main men and they need him to make the difference.
“He would have impressed Gareth Southgate with his performance against Newcastle.“He definitely has the quality to be included in the England squad for the European Championships.
“He needs to keep up the same level of performances with Chelsea for the rest of the season. The challenge for him is to deliver consistent performances where he is scoring and creating goals, so Gareth Southgate doesn’t have a choice (to include him in his England squad).”
