LONDON, England – England forward Cole Palmer has solidified his future at Chelsea by signing a two-year contract extension, which will keep him at the Premier League club until 2033, Chelsea announced on Tuesday.
Palmer, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in September last year, quickly established himself as one of the standout players in the Premier League. He finished the season with an impressive 22 goals, trailing only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. Palmer’s exceptional performance also earned him a place in England’s squad for the European Championship.
The 22-year-old made a significant impact for England, scoring as a substitute in the final, though the team narrowly lost 2-1 to Spain. With this new contract, Palmer is set to remain a key player for Chelsea over the next nine years, aligning with the club’s strategy of securing young talents on long-term deals.
“I achieved a lot in my first season here,” Palmer said in a statement. “And hopefully I can continue to experience great things at this club, both on a personal level and in terms of bringing success and trophies to Chelsea.”
Palmer’s outstanding season has also earned him a place on the six-man shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year award. The winner of this prestigious award will be announced on August 20.
As Palmer looks forward to his future with Chelsea, both the club and its fans will be eagerly anticipating more stellar performances from the young forward, who has quickly become one of the brightest stars in English football.
