Cole Palmer is on the brink of making history at Chelsea.
This 22-year-old talent has shone since his transfer from Manchester City in 2023, and his performance this season could see him break a significant club record.
In his 60 appearances for Chelsea, Palmer has managed to net 33 goals and provide 21 assists. If he improves those statistics before December concludes, he will set a new record at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer Aiming to Surpass 23-Year-Old Club Record
Palmer has emerged as one of the brightest stars in the Premier League, and he is poised to break Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s long-standing record for the most contributions to goals in a single calendar year.
Hasselbaink’s record, established in 2001, stands at 36 goals and assists combined. Currently, Palmer has reached 34 for 2024 and needs just two more to secure his place in the club’s history.
With six league matches still on the schedule, including one against the struggling Southampton, Palmer is well-positioned to eclipse the record comfortably.
His latest performance included a stunning goal and an assist in a 3-0 victory against Aston Villa, showcasing his talent.
Palmer’s contributions have played a significant role in Chelsea’s recent rise to third place in the Premier League, level on points with Arsenal after 13 matches.
What Lies Ahead for Palmer and Chelsea?
The remaining league matches for Chelsea this year will be against Tottenham, Brentford, Everton, Fulham, and Ipswich Town. If Palmer continues his exceptional form, breaking the record appears to be just a matter of time.
