Palmer secured 19% of the votes, edging out Jude Bellingham (17%) and Jack Grealish (15%). Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo finished only eighth, receiving just 6% of the votes.

The survey polled 2,500 British adults aged 18-55, asking them to rate the attractiveness of 50 top footballers based on several criteria. These included facial symmetry and features, grooming and personal style, on-field performance and charisma, as well as social media presence and appeal.

Alongside the top three, the top ten featured Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé, who rounded out the list.

However, Palmer’s recent form on the pitch has dipped slightly, as he has now gone six consecutive matches without a goal or assist.
