How to buy Cole Palmer record-breaking Chelsea shirt amid Cristiano Ronaldo prediction
Chelsea supporters have been offered the opportunity to purchase Cole Palmer's record-breaking match-worn home shirt from Saturday afternoon's 4-2 win over Brighton, but would-be bidders need to have deep pockets!
The shirt is now seen as highly lucrative among collectors after Palmer became the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in the first half of a match. His incredible feat at Stamford Bridge ensured that Chelsea continued their brilliant start to life under Enzo Maresca - with the Blues sitting fourth in the table.
Fans looking to purchase that piece of history are able to do so via MatchWornShirt.com - who are currently auctioning Palmer's shirt. The jersey, which has been signed by Palmer, is currently up to a bid of £23,438 as of Wednesday afternoon and there's still time for that to ramp up further.
It's believed Palmer's shirt has the potential to eclipse the record purchase for a shirt on the website. This feat is currently held by five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo with someone once successfully bidding £36,000 for one of his match-worn Manchester United shirts.

The auction will run until Friday, October 4 and Chelsea have committed to making a donation from all net proceeds of Chelsea auctions to the Chelsea FC Foundation which works with the local community to improve lives. Speaking after the victory over Brighton, Palmer was quick to avoid resting on his laurels after his exceptional performance.
"I didn't know about the record until the lads told me," he explained. "I'm really happy, but I was fuming when I missed that chance [for a fifth goal] in the second half."
