    I was doing Cole Palmer’s celebration years before Chelsea star – here’s where it really comes from

    COLE PALMER has become synonymous with his “cold” celebration, where he wraps his arms around his body as if he were cold.The Chelsea star first did the celebration back in December 2023 when he scored in a 3-2 win over Luton.The origin of Cole Palmer’s ‘cold’ celebration has been revealedCredit: GettyPalmer said he was inspired by Morgan RogersCredit: GettyBut Valencia striker Diego Lopez has said he has been doing it for years before thatCredit: GettySince then he has chalked up 39 goals on his Chelsea tally, with the celebration coming out almost every time.Palmer, 22, has made no secret about the celebration not being his own original work.He previously admitted how, following his time in the Manchester City academy, he was inspired to perform the celebration by then team-mate Morgan Rogers.Aston Villa star Rogers was accused of copying the celebration when he scored against Chelsea in April 2024, before he clarified: “It’s the opposite, I did it first, he copied me.”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLPalmer responded by saying: “Rogers knows that I did it and that it went viral. He [Rogers] may have done it, but everyone knows it’s my celebration.”In December 2024, SunSport exclusively revealed how Palmer had launched a bid to patent the “cold” celebration.However, the true origin of the move dates back years, and even outside of football.Valencia ace Diego Lopez was asked about the celebration after scoring his fourth goal in a row, something he has done since before he joined the Spanish club in 2023.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKLopez, 22, was not too happy about the news of Palmer patenting the move and responded on social media by sharing a photo of him doing the cold move, captioned with the year 2022 and a set of emojis.After scoring again for Valencia and using the celebration, he told Relevo: “The receipt has not arrived yet, I don’t know if it is because they do not have my address or because Valencia is in charge of it. ‘Reminded me of Gerrard at Liverpool’ – Cole Palmer told he needs to LEAVE Chelsea and has outgrown the club already”If you want, I can explain that I have been doing that for four years now. “I will continue to celebrate like this because I like it and I hope I celebrate it a lot because that will mean that I am scoring a lot of goals.”However, Lopez has also revealed his own origin for the move, which actually comes from basketball star Trae Young.He explained: “He’s a player that I particularly like. When he scores an important basket or wins a key game, he celebrates it like this. I liked it and I copied it a bit.”Even Atalanta Hawks star Young has heard of Palmer using the celebration.But the 26-year-old Point Guard told talkSPORT his prompt for the move came from his childhood.He said: “I remember being in the basement of the house with my friends watching games of our favourite players making gestures. I said, ‘We have to invent something.'”One of my friends replied, ‘You’re Ice Trae. Be cold as ice.’ “I remember that I made a three-pointer, I don’t know if it was to win a game or not, but I did it and since then I adopted it. I didn’t get it from anyone.”Regardless of its original source, the celebration has become popular worldwide.Read More on The SunOlympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo used the move at last summer’s Paris Olympics, while New York Yankees baseball player Gleyber Torres and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson have both used the “cold” celebration.Other football stars including ex-Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi have also used the celebration.Lopez made a post on social media after news emerged of Palmer’s attempt to patent the moveLopez said he was inspired by NBA star Trae Young, who in turn said it was something he did during his childhoodCredit: GettyOlympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo has used the move as his trademark tooCredit: AFPEx-Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi has also done the celebrationCredit: Getty More

    ‘He played for us didn’t he?’ – Arne Slot hits back at Michael Owen’s claim that winning Prem’s not enough for Liverpool

    ARNE SLOT has hit back at Michael Owen’s “strange” claim that winning the Premier League will leave a “bitter taste” for Liverpool.The Reds went into this weekend sitting 12 points above Arsenal with just eight matches remaining.Arne Slot is on the verge of guiding Liverpool to the titleCredit: RexMichael Owen recently interviewed Reds captain Virgil van DijkCredit: AlamyWhile sitting pretty in the Premier League, Liverpool have crashed out of all three cup competitions since January.The Reds were beaten by Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League – before losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle last month.During an interview with Virgil van Dijk, former Liverpool striker Owen suggested that his former club may be left with a “bitter taste” from only winning the Prem this season.Reds skipper Van Dijk immediately hit back, however, saying: “Well, I think we have to change that narrative a little bit.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”We’re fighting for the biggest prize of the season, we worked so hard for it, 20 teams are working so hard to be on top of the Premier League.”We have eight games to go, we know what’s at stake, we have to go for it, we have to fight, we have to enjoy the whole ride and then let’s see. Like I said, it’s still looking very special in my eyes.”I think what you said, at the start of the season, I think no one expected us to even try to fight on all four fronts, obviously we’re at the stage now where we’re still fighting for the biggest, and that’s the reality.”It’s still a possibility that this season will be very, very special.”Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKVan Dijk has been a pillar for the Reds this seasonCredit: RexAhead of Liverpool’s trip to Fulham tomorrow, Slot backed up his captain.The 46-year-old said: “Let me understand it right, Virgil was a bit frustrated because it came across as it’s not enough to ‘only’ win the Premier League?Liverpool boss Arne Slot left with sense of shock after Champions League penalty shoot-out exit against PSG “Michael (Owen) played for us, didn’t he? So he is aware of the fact that in 35 years we won the league once?”There is your answer. If you can win the league with this club then, phew, nothing else matters.

I follow the Dutch media a bit more than the media here and… no, let’s leave it!”I think the league is better than it ever was, the strength overall is getting better.”I think even Pep (Guardiola) said there will not be a team again as long as he lives that gets more than 100 points and wins the league four times in a row.”Read More on The SunSlot will still be without Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez for tomorrow’s trip to Fulham.But Alisson and Conor Bradley have trained and could be in line to return.
