Cole Palmer jokes about trademarking celebration as he welcomes Morgan Rogers to Chelsea

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer has quipped that he has trademarked his signature “cold” celebration and would send bailiffs after anyone, including new teammate Morgan Rogers, who tries to imitate it. Palmer made the comment after Rogers completed a £117 million transfer from Aston Villa to Chelsea.

Rogers, who arrived on a reported five‑year deal, is praised by manager Xabi Alonso as a top signing expected to make an instant impact. The two players are childhood friends who previously played together in Manchester City’s academy. Palmer’s light‑hearted warning was delivered during an interview in Sydney, Australia, where he also reflected on missing England’s squad for the 2026 World Cup and his motivation for the upcoming season.
