Chelsea midfielder, Cole Palmer, has signed a nine-year contract with the Premier League club.
This means that the 22-year-old is now tied to the Blues until 2033.
Palmer, joined Chelsea from Manchester City last summer for £40 million, has quickly become one of the Premier League’s standout performers.
“Cole Palmer commits future to Chelsea by signing 2yr contract extension. 22yo England attacker already tied down until 2031; terms now through to June 2033. Rewards brilliant debut season after joining from Manchester City,” Ornstein said in a post on X on Tuesday
Palmer’s debut season in west London was spectacular as he registered 25 goals and 15 assists in all competitions.
His impressive form earned him a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024, where he made a significant impact. Palmer set up Ollie Watkins’ winner in the semi-final and scored the equaliser in the final against Spain, although England ultimately fell short.
Despite the scrutiny Chelsea has faced in recent years over their transfer strategy since Clearlake Capital’s acquisition of the club from Roman Abramovich, Palmer has proven to be an exceptional success story.
