I Will Win the Award – Chelsea Midfielder Cole Palmer Confident of Winning Ballon d'Or

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer has expressed his ambition to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.

The 22-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in search of more first-team opportunities, has had an impressive start at Stamford Bridge. In the 2023/24 season, Palmer scored 22 goals in the Premier League and 25 across all competitions, earning him a nomination for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.

Palmer's confidence is evident as he stated, "It's a huge honour. Winning it would be brilliant, and I believe with hard work and consistency I could get there." His determination is further highlighted by his performance in the current 2024/25 season, where he has already netted six Premier League goals.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony is set to take place on October 28, 2024, at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France. While Palmer faces stiff competition from players like Rodri and Vinicius Junior, his self-assuredness and commitment to Chelsea, where he feels at home, underline his aspirations. Palmer's contract with Chelsea runs until 2033, indicating his long-term dedication to the club and its future successes.
