The people of Saint Kitts and Nevis have joined one of their own in celebrating the success of Cole Palmer after the success of Chelsea at the FIFA Club World Cup. 

Palmer landed in his granddad’s birthplace of St. Kitts following Chelsea’s Club World Cup win, still carrying his Player of the Tournament and Man of the Match trophies.

The Chelsea star received a hero’s welcome on the Caribbean island, where he was met by the deputy prime minister, the minister of tourism, and a bunch of Chelsea fans.

A troupe of traditional Masquerade performers were also on hand to give the star an authentic Kittitian welcome
