Cole Palmer launches bid to trademark shivering goal celebration in move which could make him millions


GOAL machine Cole Palmer is set to make an ice little earner — by trademarking his shivering celebration.

The Chelsea and England scoring sensation, 22, has made moves to own the term “Cold Palmer”.

Documents reveal he wants to use it to flog products including booze, diet drinks, food, clothes, toys, aftershave, cosmetics, razor blades and even cars.

His application to the Government’s Intellectual Property Office even includes a video of his celebration.

It sees him rub his hands over his arms to mimic shivering when he scores — which he does regularly, with 11 Premier League goals so far this season.

Palmer, who also starred for England in Euro 2024, first did it last December during Chelsea’s 3-2 win at Luton Town.

 He got the idea from former Manchester City academy teammate Morgan Rogers, who performed it after scoring for Middlesbrough.

He told his pal, now at Aston Villa, that he would do it too — and now he’s set to be the latest footballer to get a trademark.

Manchester United star Eric Cantona is regarded as being one of the first, registering the chant “Ooh, ahh Cantona” in 1997.

Fellow Red Devils stars David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have since followed suit with a raft of registrations, including their shirt numbers.

Becks has trademarked his surname as well as DB07 and DB23, while Ronaldo’s intellectual property portfolio includes his name plus CR7.

Palmer’s move is just his latest bit of business, after he was signed up to be one of the faces of Burberry’s new range of clobber.

Cole Palmer labelled ‘aura personified’ as Chelsea ace stars in nine-minute Burberry ad without saying a word

He features in a video in which he wears a £2,500 duffle coat for a solo fishing trip.

Fans lapped up the poker-faced star’s performance, even though he just sits on the bank and does not say a word.

Days after the new range was launched, the cashmere and wool coat was sold out.

The campaign, called “It’s Always Burberry Weather”, also features Crystal Palace and England footballer Eberechi Eze, actor and Man United fan Barry Keoghan and Oscar-winning film star Olivia Colman.

I’M A CELEBRATE-Y

OTHER trademarked celebrations include ex-Wales star Gareth Bale’s. He ringfenced his “heart” gesture and shirt number.

Man United’s Marcus Rashford registered his “finger to head” move while France’s Kylian Mbappé did the same with his crossed arms.
