Cole Palmer has had a remarkable journey at Chelsea, with his transfer from Manchester City raising eyebrows due to the significant sum of £42.5 million paid by the Blues.
The talented attacking midfielder excelled by scoring 22 goals in the 2023/24 Premier League season and was honored as the young player of the year, all amidst the ongoing turmoil at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer’s standout moment came at Euro 2024 where he scored a crucial goal for England in the final against Spain, although it was Spain who eventually clinched the title with a 2-1 victory thanks to a late strike from Mikel Oyarzabal.
One consistent feature fans have noticed is Palmer’s ‘Cold Palmer’ celebration after scoring goals, prompting curiosity about the inspiration behind this trademark pose.
The Origin of Cole Palmer’s Celebration
Over the past year, Palmer has frequently displayed his signature celebration, characterized by a ‘shiver’ or ‘cold’ pose where he runs his hands over his arms, a gesture that has become synonymous with his composed demeanor in front of goal.
Despite the possibility of chilly conditions in London, Palmer’s celebration symbolizes his reputation for maintaining a cool head under pressure.

Cole Palmer’s Performance in the 2023/24 Season
Palmer took the bold step of leaving Manchester City for Chelsea last summer, with Pep Guardiola acknowledging his inability to guarantee the young talent a regular spot in the starting lineup.
His debut season at Stamford Bridge saw him net 22 goals in the Premier League, a tally only surpassed by his former teammate Erling Haaland (27), and he maintained a flawless record of converting all nine penalty attempts.
He notched his maiden goal for the England senior team during a pre-Euro 2024 friendly against Bosnia & Herzegovina in June.
