Palmer commits to 2034
Cole Palmer signed a new Chelsea contract on improved terms that runs until 2034, extending a deal that had him under contract until 2033. Chelsea said Palmer joined the Blues in August 2023 and has provided 91 goal contributions in 138 appearances, winning the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League. Palmer told Chelsea he was “delighted to sign” and said, “Chelsea means a lot to me and I think the club is going in the right direction.”
“Cole Palmer has signed a new contract until 2034.”
Chelsea also said Palmer became only the second England player to score in a European Championship final when he netted against Spain at Euro 2024. FotMob said Palmer has scored four goals and provided two assists in seven matches this season, as Chelsea prepare for a home Premier League game against Bournemouth.
Long deal, big context
BBC Sport said Palmer was already under contract until 2033 but was rewarded for performances after his emergence as one of Chelsea's key attacking players. BBC Sport said the deal leaves Palmer on one of the longest contracts in the Premier League, with only Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Chelsea team-mates Joao Pedro and Geovany Quenda also contracted to 2034. Chelsea said Palmer scored 25 goals in the 2023/24 season and registered 19 assists, including six Premier League hat-tricks in back-to-back matches.
BBC Sport said Palmer has scored four goals and provided two assists in seven matches this season, and it described his return to form after a niggling groin issue last season. BBC Sport said Xabi Alonso confirmed Palmer is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Bournemouth and said, “He trained over the past week and has been feeling better, but we didn't want to rush him.”
Trophies and next match
Palmer said he wants to be part of Chelsea's ambition to win major trophies consistently, telling the club, “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.” FotMob said Chelsea went into the international break on a three-game winless streak, described as D1 L2, and it said Palmer's four goal involvements in the Premier League this season were two goals and two assists. BBC Sport said Thomas Tuchel remarked that Palmer “misses too many opportunities” after Palmer missed England's recent international break.
Chelsea said Palmer helped the Blues win the Conference League and Club World Cup under Enzo Maresca in 2025, and it said he claimed two assists in the UEFA Conference League win over Real Betis. Sky Sports said Chelsea's defence had conceded more goals than any other side so far, and it framed the next run of games around Chelsea's return to action against Bournemouth.
