However, Palmer's exploits have gone beyond the pitch, with the Wythenshawe ace racking up a load of celebrity mates at numerous events he has attended.
One previous event saw Palmer, 23, make acquaintances with Canadian rapper Drake, as the duo starred in a video posted by British artist Central Cee.
But Drake now appears to have revealed he took more away from Palmer than simply friendship.
Instead, he appears to have hinted that the name of his latest album, "Iceman" was actually inspired by the attacking midfielder.

In an Instagram post by Drake with a series of photos and videos, the 38-year-old shared a video of Palmer answering a question.
Palmer was asked: "If you were to be a rapper, what name would you go with?"
The former Manchester City star then replied: "Iceman."
Drake's latest album - his first solo release since 2023 and his beef with Kendrick Lamar - being called Iceman while he also shares a clip of Palmer saying the name is surely more than simply a coincidence.

Though some believe it is simply part of the marketing material.
Fans took to social media to discuss.

One said: "There's no way Drake's album title is based on a Cole Palmer interview clip."
A second said: "Was Iceman named Cole Palmer? I have just seen the video of Drake, Central Cee, and Cole Palmer.
"Wow, man. My favourite ever artist and my 2nd favourite footballer collaborating. I hope Cole is part of the rollout for the new album. That is superstar territory no other current player has reached."
A third added: "Drake using Cole Palmer in his Iceman rollout would be generational marketing."
Another said: "Drake using Cole Palmer for the Iceman rollout would be genius."
A fifth said: "Drake needs to drop a Cole Palmer bar in ICEMAN."
While Drake builds hype for his new album, expected to release by the end of the year, Palmer has been chilling following his Player of the Tournament exploits at the Club World Cup in the USA.
Last week, he was seen partying at Wayne Lineker's famous O Beach club in Ibiza days after he split with partner Connie Grace.
Connie, who had been dating Palmer for a year with the pair having met when they were 17, rubbished rumours they had split because he had turned down a marriage proposal.
She said: 'Don't believe everything you read online. The lies that people post to get views/likes is so sad!
'It's actually wild the amount of abuse I have received from grown men in the last 24hrs! No I have never proposed a marriage lol.'
Following Connie and Palmer's split, a source told SunSport: 'Connie and Cole have known each other since they were teenagers — but handling a relationship in the public eye is never easy.
'Cutting ties on Instagram is a big deal for the young generation and speaks volumes.
'Cole has a lot on at the moment and has been spending time in the Caribbean to learn more about his family roots.'

Mo, 37, has since moved on with another model, Taia Tulher, 28, who is heavily pregnant with their first child. They have been quietly dating for almost two years and the couple live together in London. A source said: 'Mo met Selina after messaging her on social media and they hung out casually for a few months. 'She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they'd been fairly careful. 'But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren't actually a couple. "She adores their son and Mo sees him semi-regularly. Now he's about to become a dad for a second time and he's over the moon. "He has been with Taia for quite a long time now and he feels ready to settle down.' The comedian, who recently completed a stand-up tour, broke up with his girlfriend of four years, actress Sophie Wise, at the end of 2022. It was then revealed he was looking for love on celebrity dating app Raya. Watch as Mo GIlligan gives health update on Masked Singer co-star Davina McCall Mo hosted The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan on Channel 4 from 2019 to 2023 and was a co-host on The Big Narstie Show. In 2020, he joined the panel of The Masked Singer, which he now stars on alongside Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Jonathan Ross. He is also a regular on Celebrity Gogglebox. In April, he spoke about his upbringing in Camberwell, South London, saying: 'We didn't have a lot but we didn't know we didn't have a lot. 'If we just had corned beef and rice, that was cool. If mum did a big shop, it'd be like, 'Wow, we've got yogurts. "There's boxed apple juice in the fridge and we've got crisps.' 'Those are the things you looked forward to as a kid. We didn't go on a single lavish holiday — maybe we'd go to Cardiff to see family.' Mo's team declined to comment. 7 Mo met Selina after 'messaging her on social media' Credit: Instagram 7 Selina 'found out she was pregnant in May 2023' Credit: Ruckas 7 Selina 'wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren't actually a couple' Credit: Ruckas

Princess Andre, 18, puts on a stylish display as she shares sunkissed snaps from her Mexican holiday
Princess Andre appeared to be having the time of her life as she shared more snaps from her sun-soaked holiday to Mexico. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, 18, recently returned from a luxury trip to the North American country and documented the getaway on her social media. And she took to Instagram on Wednesday to share further glamorous photographs from the holiday as she enjoyed a lavish dinner out. In the pictures, the influencer put on a stylish display in a green patterned mini dress, which she wore with a pair of silver sandals. Princess completed her outfit with a small black handbag and showed off her tan as she soaked up the rays on the balmy holiday. She simply captioned the photographs: 'Sunkissed.' Princess jetted off for the picture-perfect holiday after celebrating her 18th birthday on June 29. Her 18th birthday celebrations will be documented on her upcoming fly-on-the-wall ITV reality series, titled The Princess Diaries. Princess has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in recent years, and has been cashing in on brand deals as well as her upcoming TV fame. She has already signed big money deals with clothing and beauty brands including Superdrug, Studio London, Morphe and Revolution. The model has amassed more than 743,000 followers on her Instagram and has vowed to become a 'millionaire by the age of 20'. She proudly revealed she had bought her first car with her own money just weeks before her 18th birthday. In 2024, Princess also made her modelling debut with PrettyLittleThing after signing a four-figure deal with the brand. A source revealed at the time: 'Princess is so excited, she's looked up to her mum for years and has aspired to model for a brand like PrettyLittleThing since she can remember. 'She knows she's still young at 16 but Pete is going to oversee her work with PLT to ensure she's protected and well looked after. 'The partnership was born organically after Princess posted on Instagram about wearing the brand, it's naturally a great fit for both parties.' Princess has lived her life in the spotlight as the daughter of showbiz legend Katie and pop star Peter, and is now following in their high-profile footsteps.

Watch as huge ITV star looks VERY uncomfortable as he appears in C4's shock Bonnie Blue documentary
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ASHLEY BANJO is one of the most clean-cut faces on telly – so he might not be too happy about his latest TV appearance. The Diversity hunk made an unlikely cameo in the new Channel 4 documentary focusing on porn star Bonnie Blue. 2 Ashley Banjo is seen with his arm around Bonnie Blue in an old photo 2 He made an unlikely cameo in the new Channel 4 documentary focusing on porn star Bonnie Blue Credit: Instagram/@bonnieclipped Appearing in 1,000 Men And Me – The Bonnie Blue story, which aired on Tuesday, Ashley is seen with his arm around the X-rated OnlyFans creator in an old photo, as her mum recalled her passion for dance as a youngster. The former Britain's Got Talent star wasn't named but it was clear his image was a reference to Bonnie's love affair with dance. Her mum Sarah recalls how Bonnie and her dance partner won a trophy as runners-up in a dancing competition. Doubt Bonnie gets handed a trophy for her 'achievements' in her new job. We recently revealed how viewers were left outraged at Bonnie after she claimed she was a "community worker" while sleeping with 1,000 men. Bonnie said she sees herself as someone who is teaching men how to have better sex and describes the 1,000-men event as 'giving back' to her fans. In the same breath, she argued that she's 'not a world educator' and can't be held responsible for the culture of sexualisation our children are growing up in. Viewers online were quick to react with many on X branding it "disgusting" while another said that the whole documentary was a "disgrace". Many others took offence to her outrageous comment that her sex acts were a "community service". Angry viewers blasted her for "trying to normalise this behaviour" by influencing "impressionable" teenagers with "sick" views.
