Chelsea announced on Saturday 10 October 2026 that attacking midfielder Cole Palmer had signed a new contract keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2034, as the Premier League club continued its policy of handing long-term deals to first-team players and emerging talent.
Palmer strengthens his standing with impressive figures for Chelsea
Palmer said he had spoken to the club’s owners, sporting directors and manager before making his decision, adding: “They gave me a great deal of confidence, so signing the contract was absolutely the right thing to do.” The player said his conversations with his team-mates showed that the team shared the same ambitions, adding: “I found that everyone had the same ambitions. I feel we will keep winning major trophies here.”
Palmer’s contract extension comes as part of a series of long-term deals signed by Chelsea. Striker João Pedro recently signed a contract running until 2034, while winger Pedro Neto agreed to a six-year deal last September. Chelsea are 10th in the Premier League table and host Bournemouth later on Saturday in the competition.
