Cole produced one of the outstanding debut campaigns for Chelsea in which he netted 25 goals in all competitions, was named the Premier League Young Player of the Season, and scooped the club\u2019s Player of the Season and Premier League Players Association\u2019s Player of the Season honours. He rounded it all by lifting the PFA Young Player of the Year award.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Palmer\u2019s astounding goal-scoring record comes to light after he scored four goals in the first half against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, becoming the first player to do so in league history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He set or matched many club records along the way and made his mark on the international stage with England, becoming only the second player in the country\u2019s history to score in a European Championship final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cole arrived at Stamford Bridge last August from Manchester City and required little time to make an impact. He netted his first goal on his third Blues start \u2013 a now trademark nerveless penalty \u2013 and established himself as a key figure in Chelsea\u2019s attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
There were big goals in big matches for Cole during the first half of the 2023\/24 season, most notably at home against Arsenal and Manchester City and away to Tottenham Hotspur. More followed in the final months of the campaign, including back-to-back Stamford Bridge hat-tricks against Manchester United and Everton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cole became the first Chelsea player to achieve that feat in a single season \u2013 and later became just the third Blue to score at least 20 goals in their debut campaign which is why the question arises why did Manchester City let him leave, and that too for a fee of 42.5 million Pounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to Pep Guardiola, Palmer wanted regular minutes at Manchester City and even admitted he maybe should have played him more minutes during a press conference last season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
