Chelsea and England footballer Cole Palmer arrived to a hero’s welcome on the tiny Caribbean island of St Kitts, where his grandfather was born.

For Cole Palmer, the first stop was, of all places, Saint Kitts and Nevis, the tiny island nation in the Caribbean whose flag he proudly wears on his football boots, honoring his heritage. Cole’s grandfather immigrated to England as part of the Windrush generation, settling in Manchester and passing on his love of football to his descendants.
