Cole Palmer does not hold back when he takes a trip to McDonald’s, revealing a pretty hefty standard order.
The England international has continued his fine form this season after a stunning first campaign with Chelsea last time round.
He scored 22 Premier League goals for the Blues last season and could well reach a similar tally having already netted nine times in 14 league outings.
The 22-year-old is shining at the highest level, but that doesn’t stop him treating himself to some fast food every so often.
Palmer posed for a photo at a McDonald’s drive-through during the November international break, with two of the people working in the outlet hitting his ‘cold’ celebration pose.
The Chelsea star has since been asked what his regular order is when he heads to McDonald’s and the sheer size of it might come as a surprise.
‘Double cheeseburger, 20 nuggets and a strawberry milkshake,’ he told the Men In Blazers podcast.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca worked with Palmer as he was coming through as a teenager at Manchester City and says he is no different as a person now he is a superstar.
‘The best thing is that he didn’t change in the way he was four or five years ago, he’s exactly the same way,’ the Italian told Sky Sports.
‘He loves football. He wants to play every game, he wants to use the ball in the session, every single moment. He’s a fantastic guy.’

On whether he was surprised City let Palmer go, Maresca added: ‘Everyone at City knew Cole was top, no doubt.
‘The problem is that the amount of players they have their, it’s more difficult to share minutes with all of them. But no doubt that everyone was aware how good Cole is.’
