The Blues forward scooped the gong after shining for the west London giants last season

Cole Palmer's suit seems to be a big talking point on social media after the Chelsea star won the PFA Young Player of the Year award on Tuesday night.

The 22-year-old left Manchester City for the Blues 12 months ago and made an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge, scoring 25 goals across all competitions.


Palmer's exploits also saw him make the England squad for Euro 2024, with the winger scoring in the 2-1 final defeat to Spain.

On Tuesday night, the winger scooped the PFA Young Player of the Year award - beating Arsenal's Bukayo Saka to the prize in the process.

Palmer looked smart as he attended the special bash in a black suit.

But some fans thought his attire didn't really fit him, with one user saying: "I'm sorry but Cole Palmer looks so weird in a suit."

A second said: "Cole Palmer's suit is crazy."

A third quipped: "Cole Palmer Borrowed that suit of his old man, you can’t convince me otherwise."

Another joked: "Who bought Cole Palmer's suit. I have a question."

And a fifth was left amused, saying: "I can't believe my eyes, Cole Palmer has oversize pants and suits don't really fit his body frame."

Speaking after winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award, Palmer said he was grateful after being recognised.

He also said he was keen to win trophies with Chelsea, who lost 2-0 to Manchester City in their Premier League opener on Sunday.

“It’s very special, I just want to say thank you to all the players for recognising me and nominating me," he said.

“The list (of previous winners) is full of amazing players, a lot of great players have won it so to be on that list is good.

“It was on my phone just to make me remind myself every day that it’s something to work towards.

“Chelsea is a great club with a lot of great players, all the players took to me when I first went there and especially the manager when I first went there.
