Chelsea’s Cole Palmer has gone viral again — this time not for a goal or assist, but for a TikTok where he was asked to name his Top 5 players of all time.
Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Palmer looked like he was sat an exam 🤔… thinking really hard before slowly dropping his choices one by one. By the end, it seemed like he’d used up every brain cell just to get to four names 😂.

Before we get to the list, let’s not forget how good he’s been:
🏆 Club World Cup winner with Chelsea + Golden Ball award.
⚽ 45 goals/assists in his first 100 games for the club.
🦁 Becoming a regular for England.
Basically, he’s earned the right to chat about GOATs.

Fans’ Take 😂💬
“All that brain power just for 4 names.”
“Respect for picking Rooney 🙌.”
“How do you run out of players when you’ve played FIFA your whole life?”
👉 Classic Cole Palmer: unpredictable, a bit chaotic, and always entertaining — both on and off the pitch.
