I think he's deceptively quick. Maybe not over a long stretch but his first step is certainly impressive.
 
We need to be on the phone to all the leading championship sides ASAP to get this lad some real games. He's far too good for the eds but it's a giant leap to the first team and he's coming into a squad that's stacked in his preferred positions. Getting 20 minutes in a few 5/6-0 mauling and the odd carabao start can't be better at this stage than playing every week for a side expected to win every game in the championship. He could have the same impact this season for say a Bournemouth or Fulham as a Mason Mount did at Derby, it's not like he's 17 and unprepared for men's football, he's 19 now he needs games under his belt.

Think it's more clever body movement and having the intelligence to know when the opponent is on his back foot to steal a yard than being quick. I'd say foden is deceptively quick, I don't think Palmer has that kind of pace in him.
 
Hat-trick in the EDS game. Looked a cut above everyone else. Really deserves more minutes. However, I hope his game develops as he trains with the first team and under Pep

I imagine playing an EDS game after training and playing for the first team is a bit like when you come off the motorway into a 30mph zone and everything seems just incredibly slow.

Clever body movement was definitely exhibited tonight for his hat trick goal.
Highly impressive.
 
Foden got bits and pieces of appearances back in 17/18 (much to many's chagrin) and he turned out ok. If Palmer's got it in him to hit those levels too I'm sure he'll be fine with similar management.
 
I hope he is the guy that properly competes with Mahrez for his place and what a statement about your mentality - to be ready to play for the first team, make a short cameo, and then pop over the bridge and score a hattrick to say, 'I am here!'.
