England men

Cole Palmer: Cole Palmer has been named the 2023-24 England Men’s Player of the Year. The Chelsea star was voted Three Lions’ fans’ stand-out male player ahead of Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, who finished second and third, respectively.

Palmer made his debut during a 2-0 win over Malta at Wembley in November 2023, claiming legacy number 1276. The 22-year-old has gone on to chalk up nine senior caps, which included five appearances at UEFA EURO 2024.

He also found the net twice in that period, including a stunning strike against Spain in July’s final in Berlin. Despite not starting a game, Cole claimed the assist for Ollie Watkins' semifinal winner against the Netherlands and then netted England's goal in the final, which ended in a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Spain.
