Cole Palmer has been on fire on the pitch this past 12 months – and fans agree, there’s nothing hotter than him off it too.
The Chelsea goal-getter has been named as the sexiest footballer of 2025. Palmer has topped the list, beating Jack Grealish, Jude Bellingham and Cristiano Ronaldo to the accolade.
Palmer was named as football’s hottest prospect after a survey completed by 2,500 British adults, ranking the most attractive players based on facial features, physique, charisma, and personal style.
The Chelsea star won 19% of the vote, narrowly edging out England and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, who secured 17% in second place.
Manchester City’s Jack Grealish followed closely in third, with 15% of the votes.
Slotzilla noted Palmer’s “breakout season, coupled with his effortless confidence and charm, saw him resonate strongly with younger demographics”.
“Footballers have long been cultural icons, and our survey highlights how public perception evolves over time. Cole Palmer’s rise to the top reflects not only his success on the pitch but also his growing status as a fan favourite,” a spokesperson for Slottozilla said.
“Meanwhile, names like Ronaldo and Mbappé continue to captivate global audiences, proving that confidence, success, and style go hand in hand.”
Even Cristiano Ronaldo’s model looks couldn’t dethrone Palmer – the Portuguese megastar will have to settle for being outshone by younger talent.
Palmer dominated in the North West and Midlands with a huge 24% of respondents, while Grealish triumphed in the London & South East thanks to his “sharp looks and effortless style”.
