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.'

I think this is the absolute beauty of what the Celebrity Dating agency does - yes it's a TV show, but it's also real. Anna added: "What myself, Paul, Dr Tara do, we are not scripted, our skill sets are something we very much practice on the outside as well as within the agency construct.' "And for Christine it was very brave that she wanted to dip her toe back into the world of dating and throughout the process of us getting to know her, she realised that perhaps this actually wasn't quite the right time for her to be doing that and took a great deal of confidence and bravery inside to recognise and actually now is not the right time." Revealing a glimpse of what to expect, Anna did admit that while Christine wasn't on the show for long, she did go on dates, and viewers will see a different side to the glamorous mum-of-three. Christine opened up after she left the show and wrote on Instagram at the time: "I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me. "They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now, I'm returning home to my family." A spokesperson for Celebs Go Dating also added in a statement that those behind the show have "loved" working with Christine and "respect her feelings". They said: "We have loved having Christine on the show and completely respect her feelings and decision to return home and have told her that the door is always open for her in the future at the agency."
