Chelsea’s Club World Cup Winner Cole Palmer Stops for a Selfie with NYPD Officer
Chelsea’s young star, Cole Palmer, was seen taking a selfie with a New York police officer after leaving his hotel following Chelsea’s victory at the Club World Cup. The 23-year-old contributed significantly by scoring twice and assisting another goal in Chelsea’s dominant 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium.
Palmer, who was named Player of the Tournament and received the award from US President Donald Trump, was leaving the Peninsula Hotel in Manhattan on Monday morning, suggesting his US visit was coming to an end after weeks of touring with Chelsea during the tournament.
His impressive performance attracted much attention, and a video captures him stopping to take a selfie with a police officer as he exited his hotel. This encounter occurred just a day after Palmer led Chelsea to their Club World Cup victory, which was celebrated by the team and fans alike.
The celebrations culminated with Chelsea players and staff sharing a private gathering to toast their success after an intense season that saw them qualify for the Champions League and win the Conference League, in addition to their Club World Cup triumph.
