Cole Palmer has been getting over his World Cup disappointment by sunning himself with his stunning WAG.
The Chelsea playmaker, who scored England’s goal in the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain, was among the eye-catching omissions from Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man squad for the tournament in North America. However, the blow will have been softened by spending some quality time with his influencer girlfriend, Olivia Holder.
The couple have jetted off to Cannes in the south of France, with Holder documenting the trip by sharing a series of snaps with her 24,000 Instagram followers. One image in particular set pulses racing as she showed off plenty of sideboob in a tiny bikini. Such shots have seen her follower count soar over the last few months.

Palmer was first spotted on a date with Holder in December when they went to a Christmas market in London together. The couple have since jetted off to Dubai, with Holder showing off her tan in another tiny bikini that left little to the imagination.
The 23-year-old has also snapped plenty of pictures of her supporting the ex-Manchester City star, with the jaw-dropping blonde posing inside Stamford Bridge and Parc des Princes, where she travelled to cheer on Palmer against PSG in March. He split from his ex-girlfriend, social media star Connie Grace, in June last year.
Palmer was omitted from the World Cup squad following a disappointing season in which he struggled with form and fitness. Tuchel said: “I think he suffers from, first of all, a lack of individual form within the club.
“He was not as decisive or as influential as he was in the last seasons, throughout the whole season. Second of all, he was not very influential with us.
“His record with us was just not outstanding, not good enough to make him ‘no matter what, he is coming.’ That is just the reality of it.
“He pulled out several times, had to pull out several times, injured. When he was in camp, he did not have the impact that we all wanted to push him for, so, again, I can find a lot of arguments to have him in the squad, a lot.
“I respect his quality and his very unique personality. He was never a problem in camp.
“I think his personality helps him, even in big moments, to not show nerves, and to be decisive, but to have these moments, you need also to be in shape, you need to be influential within this group, and he has just failed to prove it, on a consistent level.”
“[It] was one of the most difficult phone calls, of course, and obviously one of the most prominent names that we leave out, but I refuse to bring players for the name, and I refuse to then play them out of position just to give them something.”
