UPON securing his first Ballon D Or nomination, Chelsea star, Cole Palmer has backed himself to win the prestigious award in the future.
The 21-year-old had a brilliant debut season for Chelsea last term after signing from Manchester City, scoring 22 goals and providing 11 assists in the Premier League.
Despite picking up a nomination this year, Palmer knows this year is not for him but believes that he will one day be the recipient of the prestigious award.
"It was a surprise to be recognised at that level so early in my career. It’s a huge honour," Palmer said about his Ballon d'Or nomination, per TelegraphUK.
"Winning it would be brilliant, and I believe with hard work and consistency I could get there!" he added.
The Real Madrid trio of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Vinicius Jr, along with Rodri, are the frontrunners for the prize, which will have its winner announced later this month.
Palmer already won the Premier League Young Player of the Year, PFA Fans Player of the Year awards, as well as England's Men's Player of the Year award.
