About Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer left Manchester City's academy for Chelsea on deadline day in September 2023, an initial £40m that looked modest within months. He scored 22 Premier League goals with 11 assists in his debut season, winning the league's Young Player of the Season and the PFA Young Player of the Year, then became the first player to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League match, against Brighton in September 2024.
In 2025 he won the Conference League with Chelsea, then the Club World Cup, scoring twice in the 3–0 final win over Paris Saint-Germain and taking the tournament's Golden Ball. For England he scored in the Euro 2024 final against Spain, minutes after coming on. At City he won the 2023 Champions League and scored in the Super Cup that followed.
