He received the award at the Opera House in Manchester, capping off a stellar debut campaign at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer had broken into the Man City first team but struggled to nail down a starting spot in the XI, forcing him to leave for more playing time.
The 22-year-old moved to west London to join Chelsea for £42.5 million last summer and had an unforgettable campaign at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer notched 25 goals and 15 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions for the Blues, spearheading their disappointing campaign.
He was one of the few bright spots for the club as they finished in sixth place despite shelling out obscene funds in the transfer market.
Palmer registered 162 shot-creating actions, 26 of which turned into goal-creating actions, the second-highest number in the league.
The Wythenshawe-born star provided 11 assists in his debut league campaign with the Blues, creating 17 big chances.
Only Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes, and Kevin De Bruyne created more big chances, and he had the fifth-best expected assist (xA) numbers in the league (8.75).
Palmer’s exploits saw him win the Premier League Young Player of the Year award. He was also a nominee for the Premier League Player of the Season prize.
Palmer was involved in 32 league goals last season, beating Eden Hazard’s personal best for goals and assists in a league campaign for Chelsea (31).
No one has netted more than his 22 league goals in a season for Chelsea since Didier Drogba in 2009/10.
Only Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have scored more in a single season for the Blues in the Premier League era.
His stunning campaign saw him make Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the 2024 European Championship. Despite being on the bench for most of the games, he still dazzled when he got the opportunity.
Chelsea rewarded him for his stellar season, extending his contract to 2033 with a massive pay increase.
