Palmer signs new Chelsea contract until 2034

Cole Palmer has agreed to an extension keeping him tied to Stamford Bridge through 2034, reflecting management's appreciation for his growing influence both on the pitch and inside the locker room. This long-term commitment places the attacking midfielder alongside Erling Haaland, Joao Pedro, and Geovany Quenda as holders of the most extended pacts currently active in the top flight.

Having previously arrived from Manchester City in 2023, the playmaker has rebounded from previous groin ailments to tally four goals and two assists across seven appearances this term. Although a lack of fitness kept him out of recent international duty, manager Xabi Alonso confirmed he is slated to return for the upcoming weekend fixture against Bournemouth.
