Cole Palmer has penned a new two year deal at Chelsea with contract valid until June 2033.

Chelsea wanted to get the deal done before the start of the new Premier league season after assessing his excellent debut season at the Club. 

The paperwork has already been signed which guarantees the player a higher salary and bonus package. 

The Blues splashed £40million to bring the forward to the club last summer from Manchester City and he made a huge impact, registering more goals and assists than any other player in the Premier League.

During his only season so far in west London, Palmer netted 25 goals and registered 15 assists in all competitions to establish himself as one of the very best players in the division.

That earned him a place in the England squad for Euro 2024, where he came off the bench to set up Ollie Watkins' winner in the semi-final before scoring the equaliser during an eventual defeat to Spain in the final.

Chelsea will Kickstart their new season against Premier league champions Manchester city on Sunday. 

Enzo Maresca's camp has been the most active among the top clubs in Europe having already signed 12 players in the ongoing summer transfer window, recently signing winger Pedro Neto from wolves.

Maresca who succeeds Mauricio Pochettino faces a hard task to transform the team back to its former glory with a primary assignment of taking the club back to the UEFA champions league.

The manager signed from Leicester after leading the foxes to a premier league return from the Championship.
