Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer has continued his good form on and off the pitch as he’s named England men’s Player of the Year for 2023-24 season.
Palmer made his Three Lions debut in November and has just nine caps to his name, but he has been able to convince fans with his performance.
The Chelsea playmaker was chosen ahead of Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, who finished second and third respectively, after the Arsenal winger won the award in each of the previous two years.
Palmer has proved he’s one of the best when giving the chance to play. The 22-year-old made just two starts for his country but in five substitute appearances at Euro 2024.

During Euro 2024 final, Palmer scored only to lose out to goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal of Spain in a 2-1 defeat.
Palmer is the first Chelsea player to receive the recognition since Ashley Cole, now his England coach, in 2010. Frank Lampard also won the award in 2003 and 2004, with the award created in 2003 as David Beckham first took the honour.
The former Manchester City player will be eager to continue his good form for club and country as he continues to get the recognition he deserves.
