'My boy' - Cole Palmer gives the finger as Chelsea talisman strikes a pose in link-up with rap sensation Central Cee

Palmer was pictured enjoying a day with the London-based rap star, who is a dedicated Chelsea fan. Cee, full name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, posted an image of himself in a black Nike tracksuit surrounded by a group of men all wearing the same outfit; Palmer included. On Cee's Instagram page, Palmer commented: "My boy."

Previously, left-back Ben Chilwell has gifted Cee a Chelsea shirt, with the London-based star seen in the stands at Stamford Bridge regularly. He was also pictured at Cobham earlier this week, hanging out with Palmer, seemingly after the initial photo was taken.

In June 2023, Cee scored his first UK No.1 with Splinter, a collaboration with Dave. He and Palmer have enjoyed similar sudden rises to fame, as the latter has exploded since his move to Chelsea from Manchester City.

Chelsea play Panathinaikos in the Europa Conference League in midweek, although Palmer will not be involved having been left out of the Blues' squad for that competition. Then, they play Newcastle at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
