Cole Palmer wins the Premier League's Young Player of the year award following sensational season... but seemingly still has his eyes on picking up more honours

Cole Palmer has claimed the Premier League's Young Player of the Season award following the 22-year-old's sensational campaign.

Palmer, who joined Mauricio Pochettino's side earlier in the season from Manchester City, has been the Blue's star man, scoring 22 goals in 33 Premier League appearances this season, while also returning 10 assists.

In recent weeks, his goal-scoring form has showed no sign of relenting. He has been a shining light in Chelsea's resurgence at the back end of the season, scoring twice in their last three matches, propelling Pochettino's side into contention for a place in Europe next season.

The 22-year-old star, who is second in the Premier League's Golden Boot race to Erling Haaland, beat off competition from some excellent rising stars to win the award, including Phil Foden, who is a favourite to clinch this year's Player of the Season award.

It comes after eagle-eyed Chlesea fans last week noticed what their attacking midfielder had set as his phone screen background.
