Chelsea's main man is eyeing legal ownership of his famous goal celebration.
Chelsea and England star Cole Palmer is making waves on and off the pitch as he prepares to trademark his now-famous “shivering” celebration.
According to reports, the 22-year-old forward, who has become a standout player this season with 11 Premier League goals, is looking to cash in on his unique gesture by turning it into a lucrative business venture.
Palmer's move involves trademarking the term "Cold Palmer," a clever play on his name and the frosty celebration.
His application, filed with the UK’s Intellectual Property Office as per The Sun, includes a video of him performing the celebration, which involves rubbing his hands over his arms to mimic shivering.
The trademark covers a wide array of potential products, from beverages and food to cosmetics, aftershave, clothing, and even cars.

Connie Grace: Fans heap praise on Cole Palmer’s beautiful girlfriend after London Derby masterclass
'Whatever you're feeding him don't stop' – Chelsea fans have told Palmer's influencer girlfriend after his recent masterclass against Spurs.
The celebration first appeared last December during Chelsea’s dramatic 3-2 win over Luton Town, inspired by his former Manchester City academy teammate Morgan Rogers.
Rogers, now with Aston Villa, performed the gesture while playing for Middlesbrough, prompting Palmer to adopt it for his own scoring feats.
Cole Palmer to join class of football stars who have trademarks
Palmer is now set to join an elite group of footballers who have turned their personal brands into intellectual property goldmines.
Manchester United icon Eric Cantona was among the first, trademarking the chant “Ooh, ahh Cantona” in 1997.
David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo followed suit, with trademarks for their names, initials, and even shirt numbers like DB23 and CR7.
Palmer’s initiative comes hot on the heels of his latest off-pitch success: being signed as one of the faces for Burberry’s new collection.
As his star continues to rise, this trademark move could solidify "Cold Palmer" as not just a celebration but a marketable brand.
