The 21-year-old has displayed remarkable performance in his recent matches, scoring two goals in stoppage time. Notably, his winning goal holds the record for being the latest ever scored in Premier League history, coming at 100 minutes and 39 seconds.
Currently, Palmer is among the top four players with 16 goals in the Premier League this season, trailing just two goals behind Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.
Despite initial skepticism regarding his £42.5m transfer fee when he joined Chelsea on deadline day, it is now evident that the deal was a bargain.
Palmer’s exceptional form has earned him a debut for the senior England team this season, increasing his chances of securing a spot in the final squad for the Euros this summer under Gareth Southgate’s management.
With six goals in his last four Premier League games and two assists during that period, Palmer continues to shine as the standout player in the Chelsea team.
Palmer achieved his first hat-trick in senior football, surpassing all but Yaya Toure (11) and Dimitar Berbatov (nine) in terms of penalty kicks taken and successfully converted in the league this season, with a total of eight goals.
