Cole Palmer has reportedly penned a lucrative deal with Amazon Prime Video to star in a documentary about England’s next generation of football talents.
Filming has already started for the four-part series and it is set to be released in spring this year.
Palmer, 22, made himself a household name last season in a breakout year for Chelsea and being England’s impact man off the bench at Euro 2024.
The twinkle-toed forward gave the nation hope with a stunning strike against Spain in the final just three minutes after coming on, but the Three Lions were spurned on that occasion.
Now the documentary will follow his progress, as well as other England starlets, as they look to bring football home, according to The Sun.
A source told the outlet: ‘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.’
Football Association sources are said to have given the green light for the project to get off the ground.
‘They know how important players like Cole will be if England are to end a 60-year wait for a major trophy,’ a Sun source added.
‘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.’
Amazon’s football documentaries have proven a hit in recent years, including their All or Nothing series with Manchester City, Tottenham, and Arsenal.
Palmer’s on-screen antics have mostly been limited to scoring goals so far – he’s already bagged 39 in less than 18 months at Chelsea – but he does show his off-pitch personality occasionally.
A clip once went viral of him singing Jamaican reggae dancehall song Clarks by Vybz Kartel in a nod to his West Indies roots.
He has also done modelling with Burberry and last year the brand released a nine-minute video of Palmer fishing in silence as he donned a £2,490 duffel coat.

Earlier this month, he filed an application to trademark his ‘Cold Palmer’ shivering celebration which has proven the signal of condemnation for rival fanbases across the country.
England are among the favourites to lift the World Cup in 2026 and have brought in tournament specialist Thomas Tuchel to lead the side.
Tuchel and Palmer’s paths did not overlap at Chelsea but the German boss won the Champions league just months after taking over the Blues in 2021.
