Professional footballer Cole Palmer's Ball Club World Cup victory has propelled him to a 33/1 contender for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.
**Cole Palmer Shines as Chelsea Taste Club World Cup Success**
Chelsea FC has claimed victory in the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, securing a remarkable title for the London-based club. The team's triumphant run was spearheaded by the outstanding performances of young English talent, Cole Palmer.
Having missed out on Champions League football last season, Chelsea won the Europa Conference League, and now they have their sights set on even greater success. The team is currently offered odds of 12/1 to win the Champions League next season, a testament to their growing potential.
Palmer, who transferred to Chelsea in September 2023 for a fee of £42.5 million, has quickly established himself as a key player for the team. His impressive goalscoring record of 43 goals in 97 games across all competitions has been instrumental in Chelsea's success.
The Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain saw Palmer in top form. He scored twice in the first half, providing the go-ahead goal and a brace that put Chelsea in a commanding position. His third-goal assist sealed the victory in a 3-0 win, earning him the man of the match and best player of the tournament awards.
Despite his individual accomplishments, Palmer remains humble, prioritizing team trophies over personal accolades like the Ballon d'Or. However, his stellar performances have earned him a place among the top 10 contenders for the prestigious award in 2025, with odds of 33/1 in his favour.
Palmer's journey from Manchester City's youth ranks to becoming a key player at Chelsea has been nothing short of remarkable. His competitive spirit was evident even during his youth career at Manchester City, where he was known for his strong desire to shine on the field.
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea's manager, has overseen the team's growth and development in his second season at the helm. The team's big squad is expected to reap more benefits in the second season of Maresca's management, making Chelsea a formidable force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Liam Delap has also made an impact in Chelsea's striker lineup. The physical outlet provided by Delap, who scored 12 goals for Ipswich in their relegation-struggling season, has made it difficult for defenders to contain the team.
