Chelsea star Cole Palmer’s celebration has become iconic.
The Englishman joined the Blues from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, and he became an instant superstar at Stamford Bridge.
Palmer has been Chelsea’s best player in each of the last two seasons, and it won’t be a surprise to anyone if he outshines everyone else in the upcoming campaign as well.
Everyone who loves football will be a big fan of Palmer’s ability, but we’re sure his celebration divides opinion.
Jurgen Klopp delivers verdict on Chelsea star Cole Palmer’s celebration
Jurgen Klopp has managed a few incredible characters over the years.
From Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing front flips to donning a Batman mask with Marco Reus, he has seen it all over the years.
Palmer’s celebration is not a crazy one by any means, but he is the first one that comes to mind when you see anyone doing it.
On BR Football’s social channels this week, Klopp sat down for a video where he rated the celebrations of a number of players.
A picture of Palmer celebrating his goal was put in front of the former Liverpool manager, and it’s safe to say that he is a big fan.
Klopp said: “Cole Palmer! Very, very cool celebration. Literally a cool celebration.”
When asked to rate it out of 10, he replied: “Yeah, 10/10!”
The real reason why Cole Palmer started doing his celebration
Whenever people see that celebration, they immediately think about Palmer – that’s how popular he has made it over the last two seasons.
However, the Chelsea star wasn’t the one who came up with it.
During his debut season at Stamford Bridge, after the celebration became popular, Palmer was asked about it, and he admitted that Morgan Rogers was the one who invented it.
“My boy Morgz did one for Middlesbrough, so I told him I’d do it too if I scored,” Palmer said.
The two Englishmen came through the ranks at Manchester City together and remain very close friends to this day.
Chelsea have been linked with a move to sign Rogers, but that is unlikely to happen in this window.
