Stunning, astonishing, stunning… We could use a bunch of synonyms to evoke Cole Palmer’s first 15 months at Chelsea, exceptional in every way. After being voted best Premier League player by the public last season (33 matches, 22 goals, 11 assists), the 22-year-old England international has started on the same basis since August. In 7 days, the player trained at Manchester City has already accumulated 6 goals and 5 assists, and is obviously among the 30 players nominated for the Ballon d’Or.
Although we will certainly have to wait before seeing him appear on the podium of the most important individual award, the player is convinced of having the potential to one day win it. “If I work hard, I think I can earn it one dayhe declared in an interview with Telegraph. It’s a surprise to be recognized at this level so early in my career, already being in the list of 30 nominated for the Ballon d’Or. It’s a huge honor.» All that’s left to do is match words with actions.
