Cole Palmer can’t stop making history.
The Chelsea superstar broke a Premier League record last weekend when he became the first player to score four goals in first-half.

It was a breath-taking display by the England international who shows no sign of having second season syndrome with the Blues.
Including his quartet against Brighton, he has six goals and four assists in six Premier League appearances this campaign.
That’s on the back of 22 goals and 11 assists in the English top-flight last term.
Now the shirt he wore when he blasted those four goals past has sold at auction.
And it’s seen him join Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kylian Mbappe in an elite top 10 of sale on Match Worn Shirt.
Palmer’s signed shirt was sought-after all week and quickly went up the rankings as parties got their bids in.
And when the gavel went down, a sum of £34,411 was enough to give a punter in Singapore the honour of owning the England international’s now-famous jersey.
It sees Palmer’s shirt become the ninth most valuable shirt to be sold on the site.
And it’s the most valuable shirt not previously worn by Messi or Ronaldo.
The Argentine is undoubted the main attraction with a special edition shirt going for just under £50,000.

And his final ever Champions League shirt is the second on the list.
Ronaldo then slots in at third, with his final ever Premier League shirt, despite being worn in a defeat to Aston Villa in November 2022, going for almost £40,000.
The duo then have several shirts in the next few places and Palmer’s shirt now sits in seventh spot.

10. Kylian Mbappe (PSG) vs Newcastle – £31,000
That’s ahead of Kylian Mbappe’s biggest sale, worn in a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Newcastle, which now drops to tenth.
More of Palmer’s shirts could eventually reach similar sums if he continues the form he’s showing right now.
He’s currently one of the best players in the Premier League and under Lee Carsley could become vital for England too ahead of World Cup 2026.
And his ‘cold’ celebration continues to spread around the world with other stars, including former Arsenal player Matteo Guendouzi copying it.
