Palmer's Brush with the Wild Side
The English forward, basking in the glory of his recent on-field successes, chose to spend his break at the renowned Dubai Safari Park. His Instagram was ablaze with snapshots of his daring encounters.
From majestic lions to an enormous python, Palmer stood unflinching, a testament to his nickname "Cold Palmer," given by teammate Noni Madueke for his cool demeanour in clutch situations.
Yet, it was a seemingly harmless baby chimpanzee that caught the composed Chelsea star off guard. A video on his social media showed Palmer with the chimp comfortably perched on his lap. But when the tiny primate made a sudden movement, Palmer's usual calm shattered, leading to a moment of comedic panic that has since gone viral.
