However, the experience left him unimpressed. The midfielder was particularly critical of a visit to popular chain Chick-fil-A, singling out one dish that didn’t sit well with his palate.</p>

<p>“I tried Chick-fil-A,” he shared. “It was baked beans. Disgusting. Our UK beans are better.” </p>

WHAT PALMER SAID

<p>Palmer is now using his time off to connect with his family history, taking a meaningful trip <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cole-palmer-caribbean-hero-chelsea-cold-superstar-grand-reception-st-kitts-nevis-fifa-club-world-cup/bltb655bd72f19344d1#cs9e6e844d72528776" target="_blank">to the Caribbean island of St Kitts and Nevis.</a> The tropical destination holds special importance for the young footballer, as it is the birthplace of his grandfather, Sterry Palmer. Upon arriving on the island, Palmer was welcomed with open arms by the local community and government officials.</p>

DID YOU KNOW

<p>Palmer will enjoy a short break before turning his attention back to domestic duties. The Premier League returns in a month, and Chelsea face a demanding start to their 2025-26 campaign. The Blues will open the season with a series of London derbies, starting with a clash against Crystal Palace. They will then face West Ham United, Fulham, and Brentford in quick succession.</p>
