Cole Palmer from Chelsea Wins England Men's Player Of The Year

Cole Palmer has been awarded the title of 2023-24 England Men's Player of the Year. The standout player from Chelsea was chosen by fans of the Three Lions over Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, who came in second and third place, respectively. Palmer's debut came during a 2-0 victory against Malta at Wembley in November 2023, where he proudly donned the legacy number 1276. Since then, the 22-year-old has earned a total of nine senior caps, with five of those appearances coming during the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament.

He also found the net twice in that period, including a stunning strike against Spain in July's final in Berlin. Despite not starting a game, Cole claimed the assist for Ollie Watkins' semifinal winner against the Netherlands and then netted England's goal in the final, which ended in a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Spain.

Palmer's breakthrough season for England came alongside an impressive debut campaign for Chelsea. He becomes the first Chelsea player to win the award since current Three Lions' assistant coach Ashley Cole in 2010.
