Cole Palmer’s Message to Eden Hazard in 2015 As Chelsea Star Wins Four Awards in One Week

• Cole Palmer sent Eden Hazard a message in 2015
• Hazard left a long-standing legacy at Stamford Bridge
• Palmer won four different individual awards this week

Cole Palmer has shared a message he sent to Eden Hazard in 2015 after he won the Premier League Player of the Month award on May 10.

The Chelsea forward's efforts were recognised after a brilliant haul in April that saw him score seven goals in the Premier League - four against Everton and a hat trick against Manchester United.

He became the first Chelsea player to win the award since Hazard won it in September 2018. After winning it, the English star took to Instagram and shared an old message he sent to the Chelsea legend, saying,

"You're the best player in the world."

Palmer posted the screenshot of the message alongside the caption,

"When you message one of your idols in 2015 and then follow their footsteps."

Eden Hazard's time at Chelsea

Hazard exited Chelsea in 2019 after a glorious seven-year spell in West London that saw him win two Premier League titles, among other trophies. The bar the Belgian set is too high, but if Palmer's debut season at Stamford Bridge is anything to go by, he is also on course to becoming a club legend.

He has scored 21 goals in the Premier League this season with only Erling Haaland outscoring him. Apart from the player of the moment, Palmer was also feted with the goal of the month for the first of his four strikes against Everton.

Earlier in the week, the 22-year-old won Chelsea's Player of the Season and the Player's Player of the Season during the club awards at Stamford Bridge.

He will attempt to bridge the gap between him and Haaland when they travel to City Ground to play Nottingham Forrest on May 11.

Young Player of the Season nominees

Apart from the awards, Sports Brief has reported that Palmer has also been nominated for the Young Player of the Season award after a breathtaking campaign under Mauricio Pochettino.

The former Manchester City player will have to fend off competition from Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, Tottenham's Destiny Udogie, Newcastle's Alexander Isak and Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo.
