Cole Palmer beats Cristiano Ronaldo & Jude Bellingham in UK sexiest football player ranking

The Chelsea star was voted first for the award.

In a surprising poll, Chelsea star Cole Palmer beats Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham for the UK’s sexiest football player ranking.

Additionally, players like Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish of Man City made the top 10 but came nowhere close to the top-ranked star. Slotzilla conducted the study, asking 2,500 British adults questions about players’ personal style, charisma, and physical attributes.

According to the study’s findings, Chelsea player Cole Palmer, who garnered 19% of the vote, is actually the “Sexiest Footballer” in the UK. With 17% of the vote going to Real Madrid player Bellingham, who was seen at a LaLiga game with his girlfriend Ashlyn Castro, the England international finished second.

Following the midfielder on the list are Bellingham’s England colleagues, with Marcus Rashford, Grealish, Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Bukayo Saka completing the positions from third to seventh.

Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid comes in last on the list with only 2% of the vote. Palmer, a Chelsea star, may be having a great time off the field, but he has had a rough few weeks on the pitch.

The England player talked about his challenging performance after Chelsea’s 4-0 thumping of Southampton on Tuesday night and will hope to return to his previous form. After Chelsea spent £42.5 million to sign the forward from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, Palmer, 22, has had an incredible 18 months.

Cole Palmer, attacking player, has led from the front at Stamford Bridge on a regular basis, scoring 39 goals and dishing out 21 assists.
