An interesting debate has been raised by Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher regarding Cole Palmer’s eligibility for the prestigious Premier League Player of the Year accolade.
This discussion was sparked by Palmer’s remarkable performance during Chelsea’s 6-0 victory over Everton in the latest round of Premier League matches.
The talented England international netted four goals in the game at Stamford Bridge, solidifying his position as a crucial asset for Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
While Carragher commended Palmer for his outstanding contribution against Everton, he initially positioned him as a strong contender for the Young Player of the Year title before reconsidering his candidacy for the main award.
In a tweet shared on his X account, Carragher raised the question, “Cole Palmer was a lock for YPOTY, how competitive is his position for POTY?”
Palmer is currently tied with Erling Haaland from Manchester City in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot, each boasting an impressive tally of 20 goals this season.
