Palmer signs Chelsea contract until 2034

Cole Palmer, the 24-year-old England international attacking midfielder, has extended his contract with Chelsea until 2034, as announced by the Premier League club on Saturday. Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023 and has since become a crucial player, scoring 91 goals in 138 appearances across all competitions. He was part of the squads that won the Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League.

Speaking about the contract extension, Palmer expressed his confidence in the club's management and players, stating, "Speaking to the owners, to the sporting directors and obviously the manager, they gave me a lot of confidence so it was only right to sign." He also noted that everyone in the team shares the same ambitions to win major trophies consistently.

Chelsea has been securing long-term contracts with several first-team players and emerging talent, including Joao Pedro, who signed until 2034, and Pedro Neto, who agreed a six-year deal recently. As Chelsea currently sits 10th in the Premier League table, they will host Bournemouth in their next match on Saturday.
