As a boy, Cole Palmer’s intelligent movement and clinical finishing saw him scouted by Man City at the age of eight. Suddenly, his path into professional football seemed clear.
But coaches’ doubts about his strength soon threatened to end his story before it had even begun. Only his composure under pressure and his determination to succeed saw him through.
Follow Cole’s inspiring story, from the streets of Manchester to the bright lights of the Premier League, and see what it takes to become one of the best attacking midfielders in the world.
