In a stunning debut season at Chelsea, Cole Palmer has not only captivated fans but has also etched his name into the club’s illustrious history by matching Frank Lampard’s legendary goal-scoring records.

Palmer has equaled Lampard’s best tally in both the Premier League and across all competitions, achieving what many thought was near impossible for a newcomer.

In the 2023/24 Premier League season, Palmer has scored an impressive 22 goals in just 33 games, mirroring Lampard’s 22 goals during the 2009/10 season, though Lampard played 36 games. Beyond the league, Palmer has extended his prowess across all competitions, reaching a total of 27 goals in 47 games, which equals the record Lampard set over 51 games in the same 2009/10 season.

This achievement positions Palmer not only as a crucial player for Chelsea but also highlights his potential to become one of the leading figures in English football. His ability to find the back of the net from midfield, much like Lampard did during his prime, suggests that Chelsea has found a new talisman capable of influencing high-stakes games.

As Chelsea look to build on this momentum, the focus will be on how Palmer can further develop and whether he can surpass the high bar set by Lampard in future seasons. For now, though, Palmer’s debut season is one for the history books, signaling the rise of a new star at Stamford Bridge.
