Chelsea's emphatic 5-0 victory over West Ham United on Sunday, May 5, kept their European dreams alive, with star midfielder Cole Palmer marking a significant milestone in club history.
The 21-year-old has been in sensational form since his transfer from Manchester City on transfer deadline day, for which the Blues spent a substantial £42.5 million on the Englishman. Palmer has proven to be an invaluable asset to the team, particularly in the current campaign.
Once again displaying his prowess, the former Manchester City man found the back of the net alongside teammates Noni Madueke, Jackson, and Gallagher, thereby becoming just the third player in league history to achieve 30 or more goal involvements in a single season, following the likes of Robbie Fowler and Chris Sutton, according to Opta.
Renowned for his agility, dribbling skills, and exceptional positioning, Palmer has amassed an impressive tally of 21 goals and 9 assists in his 30 appearances for the Blues this season.
Standing tall at 6 feet 2 inches, the midfielder aims to maintain his scoring form, aiding Chelsea in securing their place in European competition.
Remarkably, Palmer achieved this significant milestone just a day before his 22nd birthday, which falls on May 6th.
