England forward Cole Palmer has signed a two-year contract extension that ties him to Chelsea until 2033, the Premier League club said Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £42.5 million ($54.7 million, 49.7 million euros) deal last September, has committed himself to the London side until June 2033.
Palmer was one of the best players in the Premier League, finishing the campaign with 22 goals — only behind Manchester City’s Erling Haaland — and was then a member of the England squad that reached the final of Euro 2024, where he scored an equaliser after coming off the bench in a loss to Spain.
The 22-year-old Palmer scored for England as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Spain in the final.
He is now signed to Chelsea for the next nine years, continuing the club’s policy of tying down its young players to long-term deals.
“I’m delighted to sign this new deal,” Cole told Chelsea’s official website.
“I achieved a lot in my first season here, and hopefully 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.”
Palmer is on the six-man shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association player of the year. The winner will be announced on Aug. 20.
