Chelsea goal ace Cole Palmer signs megabucks deal with Amazon to star in Three Lions documentary

GOAL ace Cole Palmer has signed a six-figure deal with Amazon to star in a Three Lions documentary.

The four-parter will chart England’s next generation — including the Chelsea star, 22.

Filming has begun, with the series due for release in the spring.

A source said: “This is an exciting project for everyone.

“Amazon were desperate to land Cole. He’s one of the hottest properties in the world. The series will lift the veil on his life so far, feature exclusive footage, and help him connect with fans on a new level.

“But it won’t just be about Cole. Other England players of the future have also signed up.”

England are among the favourites to lift next year’s World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.

New boss Thomas Tuchel took over at the start of the month from Gareth Southgate, who encouraged his young stars to speak about their hopes and dreams.

Sources said the Football Association were consulted and approved the project.

One source added: “They know how important players like Cole will be if England are to end a 60-year wait for a major trophy.

“It’s important they allow a relationship to form between the players and fans. The FA saw the fruits of that under Southgate and want it to continue.

“Cole is intensely private but a balance has to be struck, given how special a talent he is. He’s excited and wants fans to get to know him. He’s just a normal kid.

“He loves football and is a whizz on Fifa in his spare time.”

Cole recently trademarked his shivering goal celebration and made moves to own the term “Cold Palmer” to use to sell products.
