However, Palmer has lit up the Premier League and pushed his team to sixth place in the league table.
Chelsea star Palmer said, per The Mirror: I wanted to play football and show everyone what I could do. I felt I was ready. But I didn't think it would go this well!
It's my first season and I thought I'd go there, hopefully play - but it's gone much better than I could have imagined. I definitely feel I was justified. I came to play football.
I made a difficult decision to leave Man City and go to Chelsea but thankfully it's paying off and hopefully it will continue to do so."
There's a lot of talent in the squad, everyone can see that," added Palmer on Euro 2024.
I'm thrilled I can go there to represent England, we've got amazing players. Hopefully the team can gel together and try to win a tournament. The fans are amazing and I just want to do everyone proud.
I knew a few of the seniors from City and Chelsea and it was good to be there but it was very different to the under 21s. I've only been twice so I'm not used to it but hopefully getting picked will help me get used to it. It's different because it's more intense, there's pros who have been involved for many years. It's great."
