Cole Palmer has become a Premier League sensation over the past 18 months. Since joining from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, he has become Chelsea's talisman and even scored again in the defeat to west London rivals Fulham on Thursday afternoon.
During this period, Palmer's 'cold' celebration, which he does after every goal scored, has become iconic. The 22-year-old claims he started copying it from former Man City teammate Morgan Rogers, although Valencia's Diego Lopez has now claimed it is indeed his.
On Christmas Day, Lopez posted a photo of himself doing the 2022 celebration before Palmer started it.
This argument is rather pointless, as there will undoubtedly be many other players who say they celebrated before Lopez in 2022. Nevertheless, the young winger will hope he can bring this to the fore on many occasions in 2025, as he aims to make a major contribution with Valencia.
