Ahead of Chelsea's win over Brighton on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, Cole Palmer was seen with a picture of the Player of the Year trophy being his iPhone screensaver.
Palmer, who netted the opening goal of the game against the Seagulls in the 34th minute, has been tipped as a potential winner of the Player of the Year award.
Cole Palmer has been magnificent for Chelsea this campaign, with the Englishman guiding the team to impressive heights.
He has been the shining light at the club, with the team largely being underwhelming for most parts of the season.
Palmer's goal against Roberto De Zerbi's side was his 22nd league goal of the campaign, and he is the second top scorer in the Premier League, 5 goals behind Erling Haaland, who sits at the top of the scoring log.
His mesmeric display has propelled Chelsea to the 6th spot in the English top-flight league, with Mauricio Pochettino's side looking poised for European football next campaign.
Cole Palmer is also joint-second on the assist rankings, with 10 assists from 33 matches, an equal number of assists as Brighton's Pascal Gross.
Palmer and Gross are 3 assists shy of Ollie Watkins, who occupies the top spot, and it is expected that he ends the 2023/24 season with the playmaker award.
Meanwhile, Cole Palmer has scored 27 goals and provided 14 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions.
In terms of goal contribution in the league, Palmer is level with Watkins and Haaland, with the trio providing 32 goals to Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Manchester City respectively.
Cole Palmer has scored 22 goals and provided 10 assists as aforementioned, with the cumulative figure indicating 32 goals contribution.
Moreover, the 22-year-old joined Chelsea from Manchester City on September 1, 2023, for a fee of €47 million.
The England international found it hard to get a consistent run of games at the Etihad side, and his hunger for regular playing time resulted in him moving to London.
Palmer's startling showing has been lauded by many footballing enthusiasts, with many stunned by his abilities.
Cole Palmer is considered one of the best young players in the world, and he is known for his agility, dribbling alongside consistency when taking penalties.
The boyhood Manchester United fan has already been appreciated for the brilliance he has accentuated this campaign, as he was honored with the Chelsea Player of the Season award on May 7, 2024.
Palmer also took home the Chelsea Player's Player of the Season award, having won the London Football Awards Men's Young Player of the Year award in February 2024.
Cole Palmer, who has been nominated for both the Premier League Player of the Season award and the Young Player of the Season award, is focused on winning both awards.
However, despite being an individual honor, Chelsea's display this term might play a big role in him not getting the award.
For the Premier League Player of the Season award, Palmer will be competing against Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Virgil Van Dijk, and Ollie Watkins.
He will also be competing alongside Foden, Haaland, and Isak for the Young Player of the Season award, with Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo and Arsenal duo of Bukayo Saka and William Saliba being amongst the players nominated.
Spurs Destiny Udogie was also nominated, following his astonishing display with Ange Postecoglou's side.
It will be fascinating to see who goes home with both individual honors, with the award expected to be fiercely contested.
Fans had the opportunity to vote until midnight BST on May 13, 2024, and their votes will be combined with those of a panel of football experts to decide the winner.
The winner will be revealed on Saturday, May 18, 2014, a day before the final matchday of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
