Cole Palmer has signed a new Chelsea<\/a> contract on improved terms until 2034. <\/p>\n

The England international, 24, was already under contract until 2033 but is being rewarded for his performances following his emergence as one of Chelsea<\/a>‘s key attacking players.<\/p>\n

He is also increasingly viewed as a dressing-room leader behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

The deal leaves Palmer on one of the longest contracts in the Premier League, with only Manchester City<\/a>‘s Erling Haaland and Chelsea<\/a> team-mates Joao Pedro and Geovany Quenda also contracted to 2034.<\/p>\n

“Chelsea<\/a> means a lot to me and I think the club is going in the right direction, so I’m delighted to sign and I’m obviously very happy,” said Palmer.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“Speaking to players as well, everyone has the same ambitions. I feel like we win major trophies here consistently and I want to be a part of that and play a big role in it too.”<\/p>\n

Palmer signed his previous contract only two years ago having joined in a \u00a342.5m move from Manchester City<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

The renewal is the latest in a series of contract extensions at Chelsea<\/a> designed to reward established and emerging players while maintaining the club’s wage structure. <\/p>\n

Joao Pedro also signed a new contract until 2034 in August<\/a>, followed by Pedro Neto signing a new six-year contract last month<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Palmer has developed a strong understanding with the Brazil forward, while also rekindling his on-pitch partnership with his “best friend in football”, Morgan Rogers, during the early stages of Xabi Alonso’s reign as manager.<\/p>\n

He was one of the few people privy to Chelsea<\/a>‘s negotiations to sign Rogers from Aston Villa<\/a> for a club-record \u00a3117m fee this summer.<\/p>\n

Palmer has scored four goals and provided two assists in seven matches this season.<\/p>\n

It represents a return to form for Palmer after suffering a niggling groin issue throughout last season, when he admitted he had played through the problem even though he “probably shouldn’t have done”.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ultimately, his lack of availability led to his omission from England’s World Cup squad over the summer, having previously sought specialist advice on whether surgery was required.<\/p>\n

Palmer has played more minutes than any Chelsea<\/a> player this season but missed England’s recent international break, prompting Thomas Tuchel to say he “misses too many opportunities”.<\/a><\/p>\n

Alonso confirmed Palmer is expected to be available for Saturday’s game against Bournemouth<\/a> and insisted he remains committed to playing for England.<\/p>\n

“Absolutely. He’s committed, but he needs to be fully fit to play,” Alonso said.<\/p>\n

“And when he’s fully fit, he will enjoy his minutes. We need him in that moment. The club and the national team.<\/p>\n

“He trained over the past week and has been feeling better, but we didn’t want to rush him.”<\/p>\n

Alonso’s side are 10th in the table after five matches, having conceded 12 goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cole Palmer has signed a new Chelsea contract on improved terms until 2034.
