Cole Palmer signs two year contract extension with Chelsea

Cole Palmer will remain at Stamford Bridge until 2033 after agreeing to a new contract with Chelsea.

The offensive midfielder, 22, who had an incredible breakthrough season in west London, is now signed to a nine-year contract with better conditions.

Palmer joined Chelsea for a fee of £42.5 million last summer, and in 45 games, he scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists.

The England international scored in the team’s 2-1 loss to Spain in the July Euro 2024 final, and the Blues have been eager to reward him with a deal that will be revealed in the next few days.

Palmer is on the shortlist for the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year awards to be announced in Salford next week, and claimed the Premier League Young Player of the Season award for 2023-24.

The Blues face Manchester City on the opening day of the Premier League season on Sunday, with manager Enzo Maresca opening his campaign against his former employers, where he won the Treble in 2022-23 as assistant to Pep Guardiola.

Last season, Maresca led Leicester City back to the Premier League by winning the Championship title.
