Cole Palmer traces Caribbean roots in heartwarming St Kitts visit

Cole Palmer took a well -deserved break.

But instead of going to a beach resort, the aspiring star made a trip that meant much more: his very first visit to St. Kitts, the Caribbean island, where his grandfather was born on his father’s side.

The trip, Documented by BBC SportWas a powerful personal moment for the English international, who proudly bears the flag of St. Kitts and Nevis on his boots. He visited the old home of his grandfather with the family and called it a “special” experience.

But it wasn’t just a trip into the past. Palmer threw himself into the island life – played football with local children, signed shirts, posed young and old for photos and charming fans.

The love of the locals was just as much heart.
