Cole Palmer has been named the England men's player of the year for 2023-24 Voted for by the public, the Chelsea forward was picked ahead of Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, who finished second and third respectively.

Palmer only made his debut for the Three Lions in November last year - in a 2-0 win against Malta at Wembley and has gone on to represented his country nine times, starting a game twice, with five of those appearances coming at Euro 2024, where he scored in the final against Spain as Gareth Southgate's side lost 2-1.

The recognition comes after he was named PFA young player of the year for 2023–2024 in August, following his superb debut season at Chelsea.

Palmer, who joined the Blues from Manchester City last summer, scored 25 goals in all competitions and is now the first Chelsea player to receive the recognition since Ashley Cole in 2010
