It has been a special debut campaign for the 22-year-old who moved to Stamford Bridge from Manchester City in the summer, going on to establish himself as one of the figureheads in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Palmer has contributed to 37 goals in all competitions and has been hugely important to the Blues’ resurgence during the second half of the season, with both his team-mates and supporters concluding the same.

Joining the likes of Eden Hazard, Thiago Silva and Willian as Chelsea players who have won both the Players’ Player and Player of the Season crowns at our End of Season Awards in the same campaign, Palmer expressed his appreciation to everyone for their support.

‘It’s really special to get recognition from the supporters and my team-mates together,’ he said.

‘It’s really important. My team-mates are with me every day so to know that they have recognised me is really nice.’

He also had a message for the Blues supporters who voted him as their Player of the Season in his debut campaign in London.

‘To get the vote from the supporters on top of that is also really special,’ Cole added.

‘It’s why we play; we play for the fans. To win both of them is an amazing feeling.’
