Cole Palmer, the Chelsea star, has been crowned the 2023-24 England Men's Player of the Year. The 22-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a remarkable season for both club and country, earning him the prestigious award.
Palmer's international debut came in November 2023 against Malta, where he made an immediate impact. He has since accumulated nine senior caps, including five appearances at UEFA EURO 2024. His performances at the tournament were particularly impressive, as he scored twice, including a stunning strike against Spain in the final.
Despite not starting a game at EURO 2024, Palmer played a crucial role in England's success. He provided the assist for Ollie Watkins' semifinal winner against the Netherlands and netted England's goal in the final, which ended in a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Spain.
Palmer's breakthrough season for England coincided with an impressive debut campaign for Chelsea. He netted 25 goals for the Blues during the 2023/24 campaign, helping them secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Palmer's performances have earned him widespread recognition. He becomes the first Chelsea player to win the England Men's Player of the Year award since Ashley Cole in 2010. The award is a testament to Palmer's exceptional talent and his rapid rise to prominence.
