Chelsea star nominated for 2024 Ballon d'Or alongside Vinicius, Lookman and more

Chelsea sensation Cole Palmer has been nominated for the 2024 Ballon d'Or alongside some of football's biggest names.

Palmer had a fantastic season, scoring 25 goals and providing 13 assists in all competitions, a feat that saw him crowned PFA Young Player of the Year.

The England international performed when it mattered, scoring in the big games to drag Chelsea from defeat.

His debut match against former club Manchester City showcased his composure under pressure, notably with the crucial penalty in extra time that leveled the game.

He also scored a remarkable hat-trick against Manchester United, followed by a stellar performance against Everton, where he became the first player this season to score four goals in a Premier League match.

He has started the new season on fire with 4 assists and a goal in his first three matches and is fully deserving of his nomination for the Ballon d'Or.

Other nominees include Vinicius Junior, Ademola Lookman, Kylian Mbappe, Rodri, Erling Haaland and more.

Full list of Ballon d'Or nominees.

The 68th edition of the awards ceremony will take place on Monday 28 October at the grandiose Theatre du Châtelet, located at the Place du Chatelet in Paris.
