Manchester City star Cole Palmer sends four-word message to Everton ace James Garner
Manchester City star Cole Palmer has sent a four-word social media message to Everton midfielder James Garner.
The two youngsters are currently on international duty with England Under-21s in the 2023 European Championship.
The Three Lions topped their group after winning all three of their matches by a 2-0 scoreline, with Garner featuring in all three games.
But the midfield youngster has also been on club duty in recent times, with the Toffees ace posing for Everton’s new kit for the upcoming 2023/24 season.
The midfielder shared an image of himself in the new home kit on Instagram, with his England teammate Palmer commenting: “What a player man.”
Superb side
England Under-21s are spoilt for choice, with manager Lee Carsley boasting one of the strongest Three Lions squads in recent memory.
And the youngsters haven’t led their manager down in the tournament, defeating the Czech Republic, Israel and Germany 2-0 to finish top of Group C.
Their hard work has been rewarded with a fixture against Portugal in the next round on Sunday (2 July).
Both Garner and Palmer have been key to their country’s success in the competition so far, with the latter playing a total of 119 minutes across the three matches.
The former, however, has featured for 211 minutes, showing his versatility with performances in both central midfield and right-back.
Garner’s Everton teammate Jarrad Branthwaite has also been handed minutes in the tournament, with the England squad also containing the likes of Premier League regulars Harvey Elliott, Jacob Ramsey and Oliver Skipp.
They have a real chance of going all the way to the final this time around, but will no doubt face tougher competition in the knockout stages.
