He also established himself as the club\u2019s primary penalty taker, displaying remarkable composure and accuracy, scoring nine times from nine attempts from the spot.<\/p>\n<p>Many fans argued that such impressive figures should have propelled the 21-year-old into the Three Lions\u2019 starting lineup, but Gareth Southgate has favoured\u00a0Jude Bellingham\u00a0behind Harry Kane, while Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka occupy the wider positions.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen if Palmer, who often lined up for\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0on the right side of the forward line, will begin Saturday\u2019s quarter-final against Switzerland. Fans are eager for Gareth Southgate to consider him, and the player himself is keen to contribute in any position close to the goal.<\/p>\n<p>Asked where he\u2019d like to play for England, Palmer told\u00a0<em>talkSPORT<\/em>: \u201cAnywhere near the net!
