Cole Palmer parties at Wayne Lineker's Ibiza beach club for ‘champion celebration' days after split from Connie Grace
COLE PALMER partied at Wayne Lineker's beach club in Ibiza days after his split with Connie Grace was confirmed. The Chelsea superstar, 23, has been enjoying some well earned time off following his Club World Cup heroics. 7 7 Last week Palmer headed to St Kitts, his grandfather's Caribbean birthplace, and received a brilliant welcome. The England ace has since headed to Ibiza for some further downtime. While there, Palmer headed to O Beach - Wayne Lineker 's famous club. The destination is a footballers' favourite, with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Jack Grealish and Kevin Danso having been spotted there previously. While in attendance, Palmer posed for a snap with the club's founder Tony Truman and his 20-year-old daughter Kiki. The trio sat on a comfy looking sofa for the picture, with Palmer looking relaxed in a white T-shirt, camo shorts and trainers. To celebrate Palmer's arrival, O Beach threw a party for the Chelsea hero. In a video posted to social media, dancers could be seen holding up letters spelling "World Champ". 7 7 7 This was not Palmer's first time at O Beach, having attended alongside then-girlfriend Connie Grace last year. But this time the football star was solo, after his split from Connie emerged earlier this month. The pair are believed to have met when they were just 17, and were spotted together on holiday last year. Amid the couple's split, rumours circulated online that Connie had suggested marriage. While putting people right, the social media star also opened up on abuse that she has received. Connie, 23, 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." 7

Cole Palmer parties in Ibiza as O Beach Club throws him lavish 'champion' celebration after Chelsea's Club World Cup win - just days since he and his girlfriend Connie Grace unfollowed each other on social media
Cole Palmer has thrown off his shackles and taken the plunge in Ibiza, visiting one of the party island's most decadent venues. Last week Mail Sport joined Cole Palmer as he visited his ancestral home of St Kitts in the Caribbean and now he is living it up at the Ocean Beach Club. The Chelsea star is enjoying some precious time off after scoring two goals in the final of the Club World Cup, which the Blues won 3-0 against PSG. And Palmer was pictured lounging on a sofa with O Beach founder Tony Truman and his daughter, Kiki Truman, 20, who he had with Eastenders legend Charlie Brooks. Palmer was decked out with a chain, a plain white tee-shirt, camouflage shorts, and trainers. Even the couch they were sat on tapped into the hedonism of the destination, with Grey Goose vodka's logo adorning the design. The Ocean beach club threw a celebratory party for the 'world champ' after Chelsea's Club World Cup triumph In spectacular fashion, O Beach threw a special celebration for Palmer, hiring dancers to hold up letter signs spelling out 'world champ' and dancing for him. Ibiza is a popular haunt for the 23-year-old - last summer he was spotted with his girlfriend Connie Grace, who he met aged 17 in Manchester. However, the duo have unfollowed each other on Instagram in recent days, leading to speculation that they have split up. It has been an eventful summer for Palmer, who wore a look of bewilderment as Donald Trump gatecrashed Chelsea's Club World Cup trophy lift at the MetLife Stadium. 'I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy so I was a bit confused, yeah,' he admitted. At least he has some time to get over that confusion until his next engagement with Chelsea, who begin their pre-season against Bayer Leverkusen on August 8. Due to the fact the Club World Cup occupied them until mid-July, the Blues will only have the Leverkusen friendly and one against AC Milan before their Premier League season kicks off against Crystal Palace on August 17. Palmer does not need to worry about that tight squeeze for now and has been letting his hair down in Ibiza, which is a popular haunt for the football crowd. Palmer's partner Grace jetted out to the US while he was playing in the tournament He scored 18 goals in all competitions last season as Chelsea also won the Conference League Jack Grealish is one of the many footballers who travels to O Beach to enjoy his time away from the game Liverpool boss Arne Slot was kissed on the cheek by Wayne Lineker on a trip to the club Lineker is known for partying his way through the summer with hundreds of guests each day Arne Slot was seen celebrating Liverpool's title out there in May while the likes of Jack Grealish, Wayne Rooney, and Frank Lampard have all enjoyed it down the years. Gary Lineker's brother Wayne was involved in the launch of O Beach in 2012 and has become a popular figure for footballers to spend time with. Jude Bellingham is one of the latest high-profile footballers to have been welcomed to the venue with open arms by Wayne. The Real Madrid star, 21, chose to celebrate his brother Jobe's promotion to the Premier League with Sunderland in Ibiza. Grealish is a regular at Ocean Beach with Lineker once joking about the prospect of a four-week loan deal for the Manchester City man at his beach club, following his omission from the England Euro 2024 squad.
