Despite a season marked by inconsistency for Chelsea, Palmer’s individual brilliance shines through.

Following his second hat-trick in three games, the young midfielder now shares the top spot with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland in the race for the Premier League's highest goal scorer of the season.

If Palmer clinches the award, he would etch his name in history as the first midfielder to achieve this feat in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, the 21-year-old also ranks second in assists with nine credited to his name thus far.

The English star also claims the title of being the first Chelsea player in five years to notch 20 goals in a single season.
