Chelsea star, Joao Pedro, has revealed he told teammate Cole Palmer to come and play the number 10 position for Brazil ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Pedro, who was dropped from the Brazilian squad for the World Cup, believes Palmer would start as a number 10 for the Seleção.
According to him, the current Brazil squad under head coach Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t have a number 10.
Coincidentally, just like Pedro, Palmer also failed to make the England squad for the World Cup.
Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, Pedro said of Palmer, “He’s very intelligent. He’s magic.
“I said to him before, ‘I didn’t think you were that good.’ And he just looked at me! But now, because I play with him, yeah, he’s different.
“I said to him, ‘Why don’t you come to Brazil? Take the number 10 there, mate. No problem.’
“Because in Brazil, we don’t have this guy. If you watch us, we play 4-2-4. We don’t have a number 10.”
