ENGLAND STRIKER Cole Palmer has signed a two-year contract extension with Chelsea, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City last September for £42.5 million (€49.7 million), has agreed a deal with the London side until June 2033.
“I'm delighted to have signed this new contract,” Cole told Chelsea's official website.
“I have achieved a lot in my first season here and I hope that I can continue to achieve great success at this club, both on a personal level and in terms of bringing success and trophies to Chelsea.”
Palmer enjoyed a superb campaign last season, scoring 22 goals in the Premier League, and was then part of the England squad that reached the Euro 2024 final, where he scored an equaliser as a substitute in the defeat to Spain.
He was also named Premier League Young Player of the Year, and his goals included hat-tricks in consecutive matches at Stamford Bridge against Manchester United and Everton.
Chelsea, who finished sixth in the table last season, begin the new Premier League campaign on Sunday at home to champions Manchester City.
