Cole Palmer has set tongues wagging after being spotted enjoying a cosy festive outing with a woman believed to be his new girlfriend.
The 23-year-old, famously nicknamed “Cold” Palmer, was pictured at London’s Winter Wonderland with glamorous blonde Olivia Holder, with the pair appearing relaxed and close as they strolled through the attraction.
Palmer attempted to keep a low profile by pulling his hood up and covering part of his face while wearing a baggy Nike tracksuit, but fans were quick to recognise the Chelsea ace. He was seen carrying a huge teddy bear, believed to be one of several prizes he won during the night.
Olivia later added fuel to the dating rumours by sharing a photo of Palmer sitting inside a limousine surrounded by giant cuddly toys, suggesting the duo had enjoyed a successful and playful evening together.
The Chelsea midfielder recently returned to top form, scoring and starting in the Premier League win over Everton as he looks to put injury concerns behind him. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, Palmer knows consistent performances will be key if he is to earn a place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Speculation intensified further when Olivia posted a photo from inside Stamford Bridge on Thursday, posing in the stands at Chelsea’s home ground. The image was captioned: “What the top says,” alongside the words, “You are not on my level.”
Fans quickly noticed that Palmer was among those who liked the post, prompting a wave of comments online.
One supporter summed it up perfectly, saying: “Palmer is cold on and off the pitch.”
