Chelsea star forward Cole Palmer has been voted the Premier League Player of the Month for September 2024.
Palmer was announced as the winner of the Premier League website on Friday.
“Palmer led the Premier League for both goals and goal involvements last month. In four appearances he scored five times and got an assist,” it was written the Premier League website.
“Incredibly, four of his goals came in one devastating 21-minute period against Brighton & Hove Albion, as he became the first player in Premier League history to score four times in the first half of a Premier League match.
“In addition to that incredible display against Brighton, Palmer also produced an assist in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and a goal in a 3-0 win at West Ham United.
“Palmer wins the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for a second time, with his first coming in April 2024. It means he has won two of the last three available awards.
“The 22-year-old topped an eight-man shortlist after the public’s votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.”
Palmer, who has already started October with an assist in a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, will look to add to his league-leading tally of 11 goal involvements this season when Chelsea return to Premier League action against Liverpool on Sunday 20 October.
It was double celebration for the Blues as Enzo Maresca won the Manager of the Month award.
“Maresca wins the award in only his second month as a Premier League head coach after leading Chelsea through the month unbeaten, winning three matches and drawing the other.
“After a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, Maresca’s team got back-to-back away wins against AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United, before finishing the month with a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.”
