Cole Palmer: Chelsea player extends contract with club for another two years, now staying until 2033 – ‘I am thrilled to have signed this new agreement’

Cole Palmer, the talented young forward, has committed his future to Chelsea by signing a two-year contract extension. This means that Palmer will remain at the club until 2033, adding to his existing contract which was set to expire in 2031.

Palmer, who made a surprising move from Manchester City to Stamford Bridge last summer, expressed his delight at the new deal. He spoke of his achievements in his first season at Chelsea and his hopes of experiencing further success with the club. The 22-year-old had an impressive debut campaign, scoring 25 goals and providing 15 assists in 45 matches across all competitions.

His outstanding performances caught the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate, who called him up to the national squad for Euro 2024. Palmer’s inclusion in the squad was well-deserved, considering his remarkable goal-scoring record.

After leaving Manchester for West London, Palmer signed a seven-year contract with Chelsea in a deal worth £40 million, with the potential to rise to £42.5 million with add-ons. He was one of six high-profile signings made by the Blues, joining the likes of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, and Nicolas Jackson.

Although Palmer had a slow start to life at Chelsea, it didn’t take long for him to find his rhythm. He scored his first goal for the club in his sixth appearance, converting a penalty against Burnley in October 2023. From there, the goals kept flowing, with Palmer becoming the team’s preferred penalty taker.

His impressive goal-scoring form earned him a call-up to the England national team, and he made his debut in November 2023. In early 2024, Palmer continued to shine, scoring 11 goals in just six games, including two hat-tricks against Manchester United and Everton.

Despite Chelsea’s struggles during the season, Palmer’s performances were a bright spot for the team. His excellence helped propel them to a top-six finish in the league.

During the Euro 2024 campaign, Palmer was often used as a substitute for England. However, he made a significant impact by scoring a goal in the final, although the team ultimately fell to defeat against Spain.

With his contract extension, Palmer has shown his commitment to Chelsea and his determination to achieve further success with the club. The future looks bright for this talented young forward, and fans will be eagerly anticipating his continued development on the pitch.
