Cole Palmer reveals surprising things about Wayne Rooney

Chelsea star Cole Palmer has revealed that Wayne Rooney was one of the names he tried to emulate as a child.

If you recognise Wayne Rooney in Cole Palme, it's because the Chelsea and England star tried to emulate the Manchester United legend as a kid. Palmer has gone from being an underrated player to one of the Premier League's best since the start of last season.

His move from Man City to Chelsea may have seemed risky, but it has paid off for him personally after an impressive run of form with the Blues. The 22-year-old scored 25 goals in his first season in west London, and has already netted seven this term.

Palmer may not be a striker, but he has a great eye for goal and that's partly because he learned from one of the Premier League's greatest goalscorers. The Blues star grew up as a Manchester United fan, always trying to emulate Wayne Rooney's goals after watching the England legend score for the Red Devils.

“If he scores at the weekend, I’ll go out and see if I can do it,” Palmer told The Telegraph. “He was one of the guys I watched a lot as a kid, and I have to admit I copied him a lot.”

Palmer's links to United extend beyond his admiration for Rooney, with David Beckham reportedly contacting him last year. "Beckham texted me," he said. "I scored a goal one day and he was in my DMs."

When asked if he watched Beckham play for United, Palmer replied: " Not really. I was quite young at the time."

Although it had been reported in the English press that Manchester United would stop trying to sign Frenkie de Jong after signing Casemiro from Real Madrid, the 'Mirror' reports otherwise. There was a meeting between the board and Erik ten Hag in which a further effort for the Dutchman was approved. The signing of Casemiro is not going to make United forget about  Frenkie de Jong. After 'The Athletic' initially assumed that the Brazilian had pushed the Dutchman off the Red Devils' list of priorities, the 'Mirror' reports that the Old Trafford board  have approved a new effort for the Barcelona player. According to the British newspaper,  the  United  board held a summit meeting with Erik ten Hag  and gave the green light to two new signings in the short remaining transfer window.  One of them should be the 'Cule' , who still thinks that the best thing for him  is to continue at Barcelona this season. >>> Check the Premier Leag...
