Cole Palmer’s debut season at Chelsea has been nothing short of remarkable, earning him two prestigious awards. His impact on the team has been immense, with 26 goals and 13 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions. Palmer’s performances in the Premier League have been particularly impressive, where he’s notched 21 goals, putting him second only to Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.

Palmer’s success isn’t limited to club football; he’s also made his mark on the international stage, earning two caps for England and likely securing a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming European Championship.

At Chelsea’s recent awards ceremony, Palmer was honored with both the Men’s Player of the Season and the Men’s Players’ Player of the Year awards. His contributions have been invaluable, making him a standout player in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

In addition to Palmer’s recognition, other players were also celebrated, including Jess Carter, who received the Women’s Players’ Player of the Year award, and Alfie Gilchrist, who was named Men’s Academy Player of the Year.

The ceremony wasn’t just about individual accolades; it also served as an opportunity for Chelsea to bid farewell to Emma Hayes, the outgoing women’s team boss. Hayes, who will be joining the United States Women’s National Team as head coach, leaves behind an impressive legacy at Chelsea, with numerous titles to her name, including six Women’s Super League titles, five FA Cups, and two League Cups. Her contributions to the club were commemorated with a special installation at Stamford Bridge, honoring her achievements as she embarks on a new chapter in her coaching career.
