Chelsea FC has had a rough go of it in recent years due to coaching changes, players leaving, and plain unluckiness in the big games. But there is a young star on the team who can turn it all around with his recent performances. Cole Palmer, a midfielder for the Blues, has a chance at winning Premier League Player of the Month.
Despite numerous poor results for Chelsea FC in the last few months, including losing points to low-placed Burnley, Plamer’s brilliance has helped the Blues stay in the middle of the table. If Chelsea FC didn’t have Cole Palmer, there is no doubt they would be in the bottom 5 in the PL this year.
The Young Midfielder Is Helping Chelsea FC Retain Their Ranking
Although Chelsea FC could still consider this a forgetful season, Cole Palmer has done all he can to gather points, score goals, and provide assists. A Chelsea player hasn’t won the respectable Player of the Month Award since the infamous Eden Hazard won it – back in 2018. If that seems like a long time, it is. That is more than 4 seasons of no Chelsea player grabbing this honorable mention.

So, why should Palmer receive this award against other big names in the league, like Mo Salah for Liverpool or the Brazilian Rodrigo Muniz?
Well, Cole Palmer has almost single-handedly helped Chelsea retain their spot in the table and pick up much-needed points from tough games. Plamer has been involved in 28 goals or assists in just 35 appearances. Palmer has netted 16 goals in 35 games, which is very good for a midfielder, and provided 12 assists to his strikers.
These incredible numbers are up there with some of the best in the league, past or present. 28 goal involvements is equal with footballing legends, like Eden Hazard and Juan Mata, showing how this young midfielder can rise to the top.
Plus, Cole Palmer has had event fewer minutes than other midfielders in the league. He came into the team in October and has maintained his form every single game, providing an assist or goal per 2 matches.
For a young player who is still getting better every single year, he sure is making a mark on the Premier League and Chelsea FC. Let’s hope he keeps his fine form for the Chelsea vs. Man United match this week.
