Star man Cole Palmer reveals big ambition with Chelsea
Cole Palmer has revealed his ambitious goal to spend his entire career at chelsea while eying football's most prestigious award.
He won the Premier League Young Player of the Year and PFA Fans Player of the Year awards for his troubles. Possibly the most prestigious, however, was getting on the Ballon d'Or 30-man shortlist.
What Palmer said
While Palmer had a sensational season, it is unlikely he will take home the gong, given Chelsea's lack of success that campaign.
The Real Madrid duo of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, along with Rodri, are the frontrunners for the prize, but Palmer, who recently won the England's Men's Player of the Year award, is expected to finish highly.
Although Palmer is not realistically in the run-in this year, the former Manchester City man is aware he is on the precipice of greatness and believes he will win in the future.
"It was a surprise to be recognised at that level so early in my career. It’s a huge honour," Palmer said about his Ballon d'Or nomination, per TelegraphUK. Winning it would be brilliant, and I believe with hard work and consistency I could get there!"
