Cole Palmer becomes first Chelsea player to win FSA POTY award

Cole Palmer has achieved another milestone becoming the first Chelsea player to win the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) Men’s Player of the Year award.

Palmer edged out high-profile nominees such as Rodri, Bukayo Saka, Mohamed Salah, and Ollie Watkins to claim the accolade.

The award recognizes Palmer’s impressive impact since joining Chelsea from Manchester City in a £40 million move last season.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has delivered consistently, contributing flurry of goals and assists that have silenced early doubts about his transfer value.

Palmer’s latest contribution came in Chelsea’s dominant 3-0 win over Aston Villa, where he scored a stunning goal to cap off a dominant performance.

His brilliance has not only elevated Chelsea’s attacking game but has also earned him recognition from fans and pundits alike.

The FSA awards celebrate excellence across players, media outlets and pundits.
