Chelsea fans are buzzing, and it’s not just because of their 4-2 win over Brighton. Cole Palmer's stunning four-goal first-half performance has made history, and now, his match-worn shirt is up for auction – with the potential to break a record held by none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Palmer, who became the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in the first half of a match, has Chelsea fans scrambling to get their hands on this piece of football history.
His jersey, worn during the iconic performance, is already attracting high bids, with one eager fan offering £16,000. But that’s just the beginning.

What Cole Palmer said post Brighton win?
Palmer, in his post-match interview, humbly admitted, "I didn’t know about the record until the lads told me. I’m really happy, but I was fuming when I missed that chance in the second half!"
Despite four goals, Palmer’s hunger for more impressed his manager, Enzo Maresca, who said, "He’s a special player, humble and driven. Scoring four is great, but he knows he could’ve had more."
The young star’s shirt is expected to fetch a huge sum, possibly even breaking Ronaldo's record of £36,000 for a Manchester United jersey. With a flurry of bids expected, could Palmer's jersey soar above CR7’s?

Chelsea fans, get your wallets ready – this shirt could soon be more legendary than Palmer’s performance itself!
