Since joining Blue from Manchester City in September, Palmer has had an incredible first season, already tallying 21 goals in the league with three games remaining.

The 22-year-old has contributed nine assists as well, for a total of 30 Premier League goal involvements.

Should the England striker succeed, he would be the first Chelsea player to win the Player of the Season award since N’Golo Kante in the 2016–17 campaign.

Eden Hazard and Frank Lampard, two club legends, are among the other former Blue winners.

Palmer has established himself as one of the season’s best acquisitions, emerging as our top scorer and a notable member of Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

The gifted forward had an incredible season and broke through on the international scene, making his senior England debut in November.

Our No. 20 recently turned 22 years old, making him just the third player in Premier League history to attain 30+ goal involvements in a single season while still under 21.

Palmer’s four goals against Everton during our 6-0 victory over the Toffees last month, which included him scoring the earliest “perfect” Premier League hat-trιck in history, were among the highlights of his incredible campaign.

In addition, the forward scored three goals in our exciting 4-3 victory against Manchester United in stoppage time last month and a last-minute equalizer in a tҺrilling 4-4 tie with his old team, Manchester City, back in November.

The teams Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard of Arsenal, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland of Manchester City, Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa, and Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool are also on the shortlist for Player of the Season.

Palmer’s rivals on the Young Player shortlist are Isak, Foden and Haaland, Kobbie Mainoo of Manchester United, William Saliba and Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, and Destiny Udogie of Tottenham.

On Saturday, May 18, the winners of each award will be revealed. Player of the Year will be revealed at 11 a.m. (UK time), and Young Player at 10 a.m.
