Cole Palmer Becomes First Chelsea Player in Six Years to Win Premier League POTM with April Triumph

A superb month for the Chelsea Blues has earned Cole Palmer, a young star, the title of Premier League Player of the Month for April.

To win the prestigious prize, the England international defeated other prominent Premier League players.

It took the Blues six years to win the monthly honor, and Palmer was the first Chelsea player to do so since Eden Hazard in 2018.

The Chelsea star scored seven goals and provided one assist to register eight goal contributions in only four appearances in April in the Premier League.

He scored four goals in Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Everton, as well as a hat-trick against Manchester United in a 4-3 win over the Red Devils in two of the best performances in the league in April.

Chelsea’s Palmer beat the likes of Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol, Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Everton’s Jordan Pickford to win the April Player of the Month award.

This was the first POTM award of Palmer’s career, having also won the PL2 POTM last season with Manchester City.

Palmer will be hoping that this award win will be the beginning of things to come as he was also nominated for the Premier League Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards.
