Cole Palmer has been praised for his sense of humour after sharing his thoughts on the widely discussed online scenario: a fight between a gorilla and 100 men.
The Chelsea player offered his perspective on the debate that has been popular on social media.
Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart supports the idea that the men would win, emphasizing that teamwork would be crucial.
Palmer, aged 22, also believes that if there were 100 versions of himself, they would likely defeat the great ape.
The midfielder was asked the question during a training session, and his response greatly amused fans.
He responded: “Ah, not this f***ing bulls*** again.”
He elaborated: “I`m saying yes, if you had 100 men willing and able to fight, the gorilla might get through the first 20 or 30…”
“…If it was 100 of you [referring to the cameraman], the gorilla would win, but not 100 of me, haha.”
“Nah, I`m just joking, you know. It depends.”
Fans reacted to his humorous take on social media.
One user commented: “Cole Palmer is too funny.”
Another wrote: “God man I love him so much.”
A third remarked: “This guy is hilarious. I love him.”
A fourth suggested: “Palmer and the gorilla would end up being best friends, and the gorilla would protect him.”
Someone else added: “I stand with Cole Palmer haha.”
This isn`t the first time Palmer has been asked about this viral debate.
Before last week`s Europa Conference League match against Djurgarden, his teammate Tosin Adarabioyo posed the same question.
Palmer seemed unimpressed then, giving a brief reply that it would be a close call.
The former Manchester City academy player has often entertained fans with his personality.
For instance, many fans adopted his unique method for making tea after seeing him do it.
Palmer recently ended his goal drought in Chelsea`s victory over Liverpool on Sunday.
The English international scored a penalty in the 96th minute, securing a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
This was his first goal in 12 games and brought his Premier League tally for the season to 15.
