Breaking: A record-setting four-goal performance by Cole Palmer has brought him closer to Cristiano Ronaldo’s scoring record for Manchester United

Cole Palmer established a Premier League record by scoring four goals against Brighton. He has the potential to set another benchmark by selling the shirt he was wearing, which would challenge Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.

It is anticipated that the shirt worn by Cole Palmer during his record-breaking four-goal encounter against Brighton and Hove Albion will fetch a record price at auction.

Palmer was the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in the first half of the Blues’ 4-2 victory over the Seagulls. First, the forward scored a cool strike from the edge of the box to equalize for the west London side, and then he secured a trademark penalty.

Following an extraordinary free-kick, Palmer secured a hat-trick within 30 minutes. However, a sneaky near-post finish ensured that Palmer made history. Since concluding his transfer from Manchester City on transfer deadline day in 2023, the 22-year-old has experienced an extraordinary rise and has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising players.

Chelsea will donate the total proceeds from all of the club’s auctions to the Chelsea F.C. Foundation following its partnership with the platform for match-worn and signed football shirts. In addition to the Blues, the organization has collaborated with PSG, AC Milan, and Tottenham.

The site’s largest sale to date is expected to be challenged by Palmer’s shirt, which will generate a surge in offers on the final day. The record is presently held by Cristiano Ronaldo’s matchworn shirt from 2022, which sold for an impressive £36,000.

Interest in Palmer’s garment has been global, with bids coming in from Finland, Hong Kong, Australia, and the United States. This weekend is the deadline for enthusiasts to claim the top spot.

The performance’s historical significance seems to have been appealing. Palmer’s humility is equally impressive to Enzo Maresca.

Maresca expressed his satisfaction with Palmer’s goal-scoring performance by stating, “Certainly, when you score four goals.” I just mentioned to Cole that he tallied four points, but he could have scored two or three more. It is crucial that he maintains his ambition and hunger.

“I have known Cole for many years.” I had him for the entirety of one season at City and subsequently the first team. He is most fortunate to be the way he is today as a boy; he was precisely the same two or three years ago. Therefore, despite his goals and assists, he remains the most outstanding player in the Premier League; this does not alter his character. He is a straightforward and modest individual, and this is of paramount importance to me.
