Football star Cole Palmer, who plays for Chelsea FC, has been awarded twice after his impressive debut season. A hugely successful year for the player, who was signed to Chelsea from Manchester City for £42.5 million in last summer’s transfer window, ended with two prestigious honours.
From the day Palmer first set foot on the playing field at Stamford Bridge, he has proven himself to be an exceptionally talented player, achieving incredible results. In 45 appearances across all competitions, he scored 26 goals and provided 13 assists, becoming an important player for the team under Mauricio Pochettino.
Of those 26 goals, 21 have come in the Premier League, placing him second behind Erling Haaland, who has scored 25 goals so far. With his performance, Palmer proved that moving to Chelsea was the right decision. Thanks to this change of team, he was able to prove himself and become a key player for Chelsea.
Palmer not only strengthened his position at Chelsea, but also took his first steps on the international stage, making his debut for England. Based on his current form, it is believed he could be included in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming European Championships in Germany this summer.
For his brilliant first season at Chelsea, 22-year-old Palmer was awarded the Player of the Season award. His contribution to the team’s success was also recognized by his teammates, who selected him as player of the year.
In addition to Palmer, other players from the team were recognized at the awards ceremony at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening. Alfie Gilchrist won the Men’s Academy Player of the Year award and Katie Cox was named Women’s Academy Player of the Year. Conor Gallagher and Zekira Musovic were jointly awarded the PFA Community Champions award for their contribution to football.
