Cole Palmer has revealed the three celebrities he would most like to share Christmas dinner with.
The Chelsea star has plenty to offer this festive season, having cemented his place as a Stamford Bridge star and earned himself a Ballon d’Or nomination this year.
It remains to be seen whether chippy chips will be part of his Christmas palate, but he may spend time under the mistletoe with his influencer girlfriend Connie Grace after the pair made their red carpet debut together last month.
Palmer was asked which three stars he would like to include in a Christmas meal, dead or alive, and he didn’t hesitate to give his selection.
He opted for Lionel Messi, Jamaican rapper Vybz Kartel and Michael Jordan.
And he was more than happy to justify choosing Messi as the “greatest footballer of all time” in a snub to the Argentinian’s old rival, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Vybz Kartel, a Jamaican dancehall artist, was next on Palmer’s dream list.
Their third and final dream guest was six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan.
There’s no explanation for Jordan, who won the NBA six times with the Chicago Bulls, but basketball is a popular sport to follow among Premier League stars.
Meanwhile, Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Azim Palmer, is a Jamaican dancehall singer who has a history with the England international.
A clip of him singing Kartel’s reggae song ‘Clarks’ went viral. Last year, Palmer revealed that his sister had encouraged him to appear in the video, which includes his boots displaying the St. Kitts flag in homage to his West Indian roots.
“My sister and I were at home one day and there was a trend on TikTok, people singing songs and stuff,” Palmer said.
‘My sister said, “Come and sing this song,” so I said, “All right, sweet will do.”
‘As my boots have the St. Kitts flag and the flag of England on them, my sister wanted to make sure the St. Kitts flag went in.
“She posted it and stayed silent for a while to be fair and then one day I saw it everywhere and now I can’t stop seeing it.”
Palmer previously revealed that he has the St Kitts flag on his boots as a tribute to his father Jermaine and his family, who are from the Caribbean nation.
He was also asked what his favorite part of Christmas dinner is, and despite being warned he would be “judged” for his answer, he kept his cool.
“Pigs in blankets,” was his calm response, and that was enough to earn his approval.
