I know he is an academy player and he has potential but his performances in the recent Euros were steady but unspectacular. Indeed he looked somewhat inferior to Gomez who to me showed a lot more in that competition. I trust management if they decide to loan him out or sell him.
Whatever you think of those displays Cole is superior to Gomes to think otherwise is nonsense, he rarely played early on in that u21 tournament and had to work his way in, plus England without Palmer wouldn't have even made the final let alone won it.

Angel Gomes professional football career so far:
113 games
7364 minutes
12 goals
14 assists

(England u21: 18 games 0 goals)
That's while being bright and confident after improving much, because he's played first team football these past few seasons.

Cole Palmer professional career so far:
41 games
1542 minutes
5 goals
5 assists
+
(England u21: 13 games 4 goals)
While being nearly two years younger, used very sparingly at times without many minutes at a time, generally playing out of position and yet to find his groove yet. Still though even if he carried on this trajectory without much improvement, he'd very likely be bettering those Gomes numbers.
If Palmer was at a team where he had the same amount of chances as the ex rag even out of position, then his numbers for goals and assists would defo be much higher than Angel Gomes I've no doubt.
He's got higher potential without question, and he's already a better player than him too in my opinion.
