HE'S already the man with the best figures in football.
And now passionate fans agree - there's nothing hotter than Cole.
Cole Palmer made 'shorts thrift' of the opposition for attractiveness
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't even make the six pack - as he came eighth
Jude Bellingham came out top in one region but not overall
Cristiano Ronaldo famously had a bust made of bronze.
But Cole Palmer still destroys him for vital statistics - after being named the sexiest footballer of 2025.
The Chelsea hero is already the Premier League king for goals and assists.
And a new survey for the UK places Palmer ahead of the pack for attractiveness - in more alluring ways than just stats.
The 22-year-old was backed by 19% of respondents - pipping Jude Bellingham (17%) and Jack Grealish (15%).
Judging by that trio of creative talents, maybe fans dream of making a play for playmakers?
Real Madrid ace Bellingham, Manchester City's Grealish and fourth-placed Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice all cost £100million-plus.
So if money can't can't buy you love, maybe an expensive price tag helps with your sexiness.
The poll by Slottozilla asked 2,500 UK adults aged 18-55 to assess the attractiveness of 50 leading footballers, based on certain criteria.
Those qualities included: facial symmetry and features, grooming and personal style, on-field presence and charisma, and social media appeal and engagement.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was the fifth and final player to reach 10%.
Next came Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Ronaldo, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe in 10th spot.
So the leading seven were Lions hearted - all experienced England internationals.
Manchester United and Portugal legend Ronaldo, 40, has won five Ballons d'Or.
But his 6% score in the sexiness chart was way below the winner of what might for now be called the 'Palmer Adore' award.
Yet in a regional breakdown for attractiveness, Al-Nassr striker Ron did come first in one area - Northern Ireland.
Palmer dominated in the North West & Midlands with a huge 24%, no doubt helped by his roots at home-town club Manchester City.
Grealish triumphed in the London & South East, apparently thanks to his "sharp looks and effortless style".
Meanwhile, City team-mate Haaland came out tops in Scotland due to his "powerful physique and striking features".
Fans in Wales singled out Bellingham, noting his "confidence and continental charm".
But although Jude was the favourite in the Dragons country, it was Palmer who was the clear victor across the whole of the UK for starting a fire of amorous thoughts.
