Cole Palmer has put pen to paper on new terms at Chelsea, extending his contract by two years. The new deal will keep him in west London for a further nine years until 2033. Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City last summer in a £40m deal and has scored 40 goals in 45 games during an impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge.
Cole Palmer has extended his contract with Chelsea by two years, keeping him at the club until 2033.
Already under contract until 2031 after making a surprise move from Manchester City last summer, the 22-year-old has signed new terms after just one season at Stamford Bridge.
“I’m delighted to sign this new contract,” Palmer said after putting pen to paper. “I have achieved a lot in my first season here and I hope 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.”
In a superb debut campaign, Palmer scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists in 45 matches in all competitions, earning him a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024.
After getting a taste of first-team football at City, Palmer swapped Manchester for west London and signed a seven-year deal in a deal worth £40m, rising to £42.5m in potential add-ons.
He was one of six big-money signings made by the Blues and arrived at Stamford Bridge alongside Moises Caissed, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson.
In a relatively slow start to life in the capital, it took Palmer six games to find the net for his first goal for Chelsea which came from the spot against Burnley in October 2023.
His first four goals were penalties as he became the team’s favorite spot-kick, and once the goals started, they didn’t stop.
His prolific goalscoring form quickly caught the eye of England manager Southgate, and the versatile striker made his debut for the Three Lions in November 2023.
He scored 11 goals in just six games earlier in 2024, including two hat-tricks in wins over Manchester United and Everton.
Palmer continued to be a shining light in a struggling Chelsea side that flirted with the bottom half of the table for most of the season, before his excellence propelled them to a top-six finish.
He was used frequently from the bench during England’s Euro 2024 campaign and capped off his remarkable run with a goal in the final, despite going down in the defeat to Spain.
