They’re loveable stars on the pitch, but now Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer have taken the time to sit down and discuss one of their other passions – fashion.

The Chelsea star and coldest man on the pitch stepped into the modelling world earlier this year when he donned stylish outerwear for Burberry’s seasonal campaign.

Manchester United’s Mainoo has been capturing attention with his fashionable fits on social media, establishing his status as one of the best dressed ballers in the game.

The pair are set to join forces at GQ’s Men of the Year event next week, but first spent some time discussing all things culture.

“I bought a Lamborghini,” Palmer told GQ before detailing why he enjoys flashy things. “Maybe because, like you’re growing up, you don’t really have much, do you know what I mean?

“I remember wanting boots off my dad and he wouldn’t get me them, and that. You’re living in council houses. So just to try and give back when you get to this position is nice.”

Whereas for Mainoo, it’s all about the watch game. If he’s seen without his Rolex, it’s a rare sight.

“He doesn’t wear hyped pieces that football players already have in rotation but instead seems to hunt for the pieces others don’t have,” Footballer Fits founder Jordan Clarke told GQ. “With the GMT Master II, it’s an iconic, recognisable timepiece that is essential to any Rolex collection showing Kobbie’s style knowledge clearly extends to the watch game too.

“It’s a luxury piece that isn’t too loud but still gives off that sense of class, which sums up Kobbie.”
