But what is he doing there? For many, Cole Palmer is the intruder of the Top 10 of the Ballon d'Or. Chelsea certainly won the conference league and especially the club World Cup, which has necessarily played in favor. But for the rest, the attacking midfielder was not frankly sparkling, especially during the second part of the Premier League season.
In this election, some nominated were well helped by the journalist in their country. We can think of Scott MCTOMINAY, placed in the lead by the Scottish voter, or at KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA, who received full points from the Georgian representative.
The English journalist voted fair
In England, the highly respected Henry Winter voted. And the former Times and Telegraph journalist simply granted any point to Cole Palmer, by dismissing them from the top 10. His 211 points, the Chelsea player went to look for them elsewhere, especially in Albania, in Bulgaria (Palmer 2nd behind Dembélé) or in Croatia (Palmer 2nd behind Vitinha).
Henry Winter's vote is interesting, since he has the right top 7 in order. His only little “fantasy” is to have placed Scott MCTOMINAY in 10th position, just behind the English captain Harry Kane.
