Cole Palmer isn't just a talent; he’s a glitch in the Premier League matrix. As of February 2026, "Cold Palmer" has officially secured a
record that even the most elite strikers in the world are chasing.
Since the start of 2024, no player in the Premier League has scored more hat-tricks than Cole Palmer. With his most recent 25-minute demolition of Wolves (Feb 7, 2026), he has pulled ahead of the pack, proving that his debut season at Chelsea was just the warm-up.
The "Hat-Trick King" Stats (Since Jan 1, 2024)
While Erling Haaland continues to be a goal-scoring machine, Palmer’s efficiency in "big" scoring bursts is currently unmatched in England.

The History Maker: Palmer is now the first player in Premier League history to score three first-half hat-tricks (Everton, Brighton, and Wolves).
Club Legend Status: With 4 hat-tricks, he has already surpassed the Chelsea records held by icons like Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (who all have 3).

In his most recent showing at Molineux, Palmer didn't just score; he demoralized the opposition:
38 Minutes: All three goals came before the halftime whistle.
100% Accuracy: Every shot he took hit the back of the net.
The Milestones: This was his 4th career PL hat-trick and his 50th goal for Chelsea in just over 18 months at the club.
Liam Rosenior (Chelsea Manager): "Cole is a player who doesn't just play the game; he freezes it. When he's in this mood, there isn't a defensive system in the world that can stop him."
The Verdict: We are witnessing the peak of "Cole Palmer World." To outpace Erling Haaland in any scoring metric is a feat, but to do it while playing as a creative playmaker is historic. At just 23, he is no longer "one for the future"—he is the present of English football.
