Cole Palmer has been named Premier League Young Player of the Season following his breakthrough campaign at Chelsea in 2023/24.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Palmer, 22, has been named the Premier League's Young Player of the Season following his performances in 2023/24.
The England international beat Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, Kobbie Mainoo, William Saliba, Bukayo Saka and finally Destiny Udogie to secure the award.

The Premier League confirmed the news with a post on social media.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Palmer arrived at Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day last summer, after Manchester City opened the door for their academy prospect to leave the club.
He has since netted 22 goals and added ten assists across the current campaign, as he dragged Chelsea to sixth place within the top flight of English football.
Mauricio Pochettino's side are currently three points clear of Newcastle United in seventh place, as the Blues look to secure European football for next season.
