LATEST NEWS: I’m excited to announce that Cole Palmer has now surpassed Kane, Haaland, and Lewandowski in this specific record.
At 22 years old, Palmer took the league by storm last season, racking up an impressive 22 goals and providing 11 assists, which earned him the Premier League Young Player of the Year award.
Even though he didn’t start a single match during Euro 2024, Palmer still made a significant impact for England, assisting Ollie Watkins’ decisive goal in the semi-final and scoring the equalizer in the final against Spain.
This season, the challenge for Palmer is to maintain or surpass his previous performance, and early signs indicate that it would be unwise to doubt him. His four goals against Brighton have brought his tally to six goals and four assists in just six games, with only Erling Haaland outscoring him so far this season.
In fact, according to Sofascore Football, Palmer’s four-goal display on Saturday now places him as the player with the most goal involvements across Europe’s top five leagues in 2024, with 31 goal contributions. This achievement puts him ahead of renowned strikers such as Haaland, Harry Kane, and Robert Lewandowski, which is truly remarkable.
This underscores the extraordinary form Palmer is in and highlights how rapid his rise has been, especially considering that before last season, he had never scored a Premier League goal.
