Palmer himself has a limited appearance in the video, but his arrival is perfectly timed.
The video starts out with a man in a suit and a haircut identical to Palmer's asking if the viewer knows anyone who has been "skinned" by the England international.
In a reference to other TV ads like InjuryLawyers4U, the man says: "Have you or someone you love been skinned by Cole Palmer? Worried Cole's highlight reel will be your legacy?"
After showing some highlights of Palmer skinning some rivals with his dribbling, the man reveals the fictional firm is called "Reputational Damage Specialists".

He goes on to explain how the firm will create a "recovery plan to get you back on the pitch," with a number of "victims" of Palmer's skills shown to be in distress over their traumatic experience.
Part of the recovery process includes surgery from an "expert reconstruction team" to help players start afresh, including a new identity, a new kit and a new life.

The man then walks into a room with a large wooden table which has four people standing behind it while a central chair is shown with its back to the camera.
Each of the people behind the table are shown to have a Palmer haircut identical to the first man, before the chair turns around to reveal company boss Palmer wearing a sharp suit with his fingers touching together.

The video then moves back to a widepan shot with Palmer now showing off a devious smile while his underlings perform his signature rubbing shoulders celebration.
This final scene has a sinister laughing track playing along with a phone number: +44-800-skinned.

A second said: "Yeah...that haircut... approved."
A third added: "Nike brought back the goods."

A fifth said: "Palmer single-handedly just saved Nike ads, the game's so back."
Palmer has a number of Premier League rivals to count among his victims.
Some of the most memorable - or humiliating, depending on your point of view - include Manchester United's Manuel Ugarte and Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite.
Team-mates aren't safe either, with videos from Blues training showing the attacking midfielder nutmegging Noni Madueke.
Palmer has thus far helped Chelsea make the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
They are now up against Palmeiras to book a spot in the final four.
That match will commence at 2am on Saturday.

Leah Williamson relieved to let go of anxiety ahead of England's Euro opener
The Arsenal defender was forced to miss England's first run to a Women's World Cup final two summers ago in Australia after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury and she is now relishing the opportunity to lead the Lionesses in another major tournament after captaining them to European glory in 2022. England boss Sarina Wiegman, meanwhile, hinted Chelsea forward Lauren James could be more involved against France after marking her comeback from a long hamstring-related absence with an assist in her 30-minute second-half cameo in their Jamaica send-off friendly. 'I've probably held some anxiety, I suppose, up until this moment,' said Williamson, when asked if missing the World Cup and her recovery had given her a new appreciation for this opportunity. 'Just because I wanted to be here and I wanted to be with the team, I wanted to be here with the team, I wanted to experience another tournament for England, and being away from home is special. 'When you come to another country to represent your country and just take everything in. It's a bit different to England in 2022, so I'm just taking everything in. I'm very excited. Obviously so much has changed, so I'm intrigued to come back and enjoy that tournament football.' Wiegman and her team have embraced the mantra of this being a 'new England', with seven fresh faces in this 23-player squad featuring in their first major tournament and many of her returnees from the 2022 triumph playing much bigger roles. 'It's a new territory, and we're not necessarily looking at it as a defence, but a new challenge and an opportunity to do something new,' added Williamson. Williamson does not take the travelling English fan support, who have come out in big numbers, for granted. She added: 'I think when they look at us they see a team that would give everything for them, and I think they keep coming back for that reason. I hope that continues.' Wiegman said that while the team will 'never forget' the 'lifetime experience' of lifting the trophy at Wembley: 'You have to move on, and you have to be on top of it. Things are changing very quickly, so we have to do it too. 'We came together in February, and we came to this, saying it's a new challenge. The approach was there anyway, but we called it a new England.' Wiegman confirmed James, who scored three goals and added as many assists at the World Cup, was in a 'good place'. The 23-year-old was out of action for three months before making her long-awaited return in the 63rd minute against Jamaica last Sunday. Asked if James was fit to start, Wiegman replied: 'We're not going to give you the line-up, but she played 30 minutes last week, so she can play more than that. I think that will say enough.'

Chelsea given huge fine for breach of financial rules
July 4 (Reuters) - Chelsea have been fined 31 million euros ($36.50 million) by UEFA for breaches of its financial rules, while Aston Villa, Barcelona and Olympique Lyonnais were also levied with large fines, UEFA announced on Friday. The punishments come with the potential for far harsher fines down the road, with Chelsea risking being hit with a further 60 million euros if they do not get their finances in order. Barcelona must pay a 15 million euro fine, with UEFA fining Lyon 12.5 million and Aston Villa five million. The teams agreed to settlement agreements which cover periods of two, three or four years, with the clubs' final targets to be fully compliant with the football earnings rule by the end of their specific settlement period. Additionally, Lyon agreed on an exclusion from the 2025/26 UEFA club competitions should the French authority (DNCG) confirm the club's relegation to Ligue 2. ($1 = 0.8493 euros)

She took a pregnancy test soon after and went on to find out she was pregnant with a girl. She added to Elle: "Obviously, I would have been fine with either, and when I was younger, I always thought when I get pregnant, I wouldn't find out, but the second we got told we could find out, we did. "I'm so excited. I come from all girls, we're very girl-heavy. Girls are great."

Poppy went public with billionaire businessman Archie in July last year when they headed to BST Hyde Park festival together.
