Cole Palmer has been awarded the Premier League Young Player of the Season after an impressive debut season with Chelsea

Cole Palmer has been named Premier League Young Player of the Season following his breakthrough campaign at Chelsea in 2023/24. Palmer, 22, has been named the Premier League’s Young Player of the Season following his performances in 2023/24. The England international beat Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, Kobbie Mainoo, William Saliba, Bukayo Saka and finally Destiny Udogie to secure the award. The Premier League confirmed the news with a post on social media.

Cole Palmer’s remarkable performance in the 2023/24 season for Chelsea has cemented his status as one of the most promising talents in the Premier League. At just 22 years old, Palmer’s outstanding contributions on the field have earned him the prestigious title of Premier League Young Player of the Season. His competition was fierce, besting established talents such as Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, Kobbie Mainoo, William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, and Destiny Udogie.

Arriving at Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day last summer, following his departure from Manchester City, Palmer wasted no time in making his mark. Throughout the current campaign, he has displayed incredible skill and determination, scoring an impressive 22 goals and providing 10 assists. This has been instrumental in propelling Chelsea to a challenging but respectable sixth place in the top flight of English football.

Under the guidance of manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea currently holds a three-point lead over Newcastle United in seventh place as they strive to secure a place in European football for the upcoming season. However, their hold on sixth place is not guaranteed, as despite their strong performance, they have a goal difference of 13, which is lower than Newcastle’s 21. This sets the stage for an intense final game of the season against Bournemouth on Sunday, where Chelsea will need to give their all to ensure their position.

On the other hand, Newcastle will face Brentford in their final game of the campaign, in a match that is sure to have implications for both clubs. With all fixtures set to kick off at 4 pm UK time, the tension and excitement surrounding the culmination of the season are palpable, promising an exhilarating end to an eventful campaign.
