CHELSEA goal ace Cole Palmer is delivering the goods on and off the pitch — after arriving at training in a Royal Mail van.
The £40million star shocked team-mates by getting a lift from his local postie.
Palmer, 22, had left his car at Chelsea’s training base in Cobham, Surrey, the previous day when he was driven home by a team-mate earlier this month.
Struggling to get back in, he was offered a lift in the mail van after chatting with the driver.
A source close to Palmer told The Sun: “Cole is the most normal, down-to-earth guy you could meet, and this is typical of him.
“He’s a very friendly lad and is on good terms with all of his neighbours, including the postman.
“He didn’t think twice when he was offered a lift to the training ground, although his arrival certainly caused quite a stir.
“Not many multi-millionaire stars come to training with a postman.”
A Chelsea source added: “Cole is so laid-back he didn’t understand what all the fuss was about.
“The other players were hysterical about it.
“They found it so funny, and gave him the stamp of approval for his stunt.
“He’s a complete one-off, on and off the pitch.
“Nothing surprises us with him.”

So it’s okay to give my auntie a lift to the shops in the van then.

My brother in law plays for a league 1 team. Can I pick him up in the van after his training today then? Or is it one rule for them and another for us?

Against the rules and a massive insurance risk if he had been involved in an accident.
