Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea's £19m transfer will be done 'this week' after medical completed
Alright, let’s dive into this one. Is Cole Palmer a Ballon d’Or 2025 contender? Well, it’s like asking if a cat has got a shot at becoming the next Prime Minister. Sure, it’s technically possible, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
Now, it is important not to misinterpret. Palmer is having a belter of a season. He’s smashing records left, right, and centre, putting up numbers that even Cristiano Ronaldo would raise an eyebrow at. Only Ronaldo and Palmer himself have started a Premier League campaign aged 22 or younger and racked up 30 or more direct goal involvements. In 46 appearances across all competitions, he has 26 goals and 14 assists. That’s some elite company, mate.
Watching Palmer play is like watching poetry in motion. The lad’s got a footballing brain sharper than a tack, and he’s always one step ahead of the game. Whether he’s dancing past defenders or threading inch-perfect passes, he’s a class act through and through.
But let’s be real for a second – winning the Ballon d’Or? That’s a bit of a stretch. We’re talking about a lad playing for a Chelsea side that’s been a bit hit-and-miss this season. And let’s not forget, the Golden Ball isn’t just about individual brilliance – it’s also about team success. So unless Chelsea pull off a miracle and start winning everything in sight, Palmer’s chances are about as slim as runway models.
That being said, there’s always a glimmer of hope, ain’t there? If Palmer can work some magic with England during the Euros 2024, who knows? Maybe he’ll turn a few heads and make folks sit up and take notice. It’s not like it’s completely impossible. There’s always that 0.01% chance lurking in the shadows.
But even if Palmer doesn’t end up lifting the Ballon d’Or, let’s not overlook the fact that he’s been an absolute revelation for Chelsea this season. Mauricio Pochettino’s got himself a real gem on his hands, and Palmer’s only going to get better with time.
While the Ballon d’Or might be a long shot, let’s not write off Palmer’s incredible achievements on the pitch. Who knows what the future holds?
