Cole Palmer Set to Challenge Haaland for PFA Player of the Year

Cole Palmer may not be the most engaging interview, but he is an intelligent all-round footballer. The Chelsea attacking midfielder is capable of winning PFA Player of the Year.

Every year, the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award sees members of the players’ trade union, the Professional Footballers’ Association, vote for the best footballer of the season in England.

Last season, Manchester City’s Phil Foden won the award. The Young Player of the Year was Chelsea’s Cole Palmer. This season, he is capable of stepping up in the Premier League and winning the main prize.

City are at the odds of 2.72 to win the Premier League this season, while Chelsea are at 20.85. However, Palmer is still one of the league’s best players.

Why Cole Palmer Can Win Premier League Player of the Year

Cole Palmer could win Premier League Player of the Year due to his well-rounded football intelligence and ability to impact games beyond just goals and assists. 

Despite avoiding engaging much in interviews, his high football IQ is evident in his positioning, decision-making, and creativity on the pitch. 

He consistently contributes to his team’s buildup play and is involved in key moments, showcasing versatility in different roles.

Who Will Be Cole Palmer’s Biggest Challenger?

Undoubtedly, Erling Haaland (Manchester City) is another player who is highly capable of winning PFA Player of the Year in the Premier League.

He is the Premier League’s top scorer so far with 10 goals. Palmer is one of the best scorers and assist-makers with six goals and five assists.

While Erling Haaland is a better pure goalscorer, Palmer is a more complete player, excelling in dribbling, vision, and link-up play. This all-around influence makes him a strong contender for the award.
