Cole Palmer signs Chelsea deal through 2034

Cole Palmer has signed an improved Chelsea contract running through 2034. He revealed the deal on a livestream before the club confirmed it. Since joining from Manchester City in August 2023 for £42.5 million, Palmer has 91 goal contributions in 138 appearances and helped Chelsea win the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Conference League. His earlier deal already ran to 2033; the extension adds one more year. After signing, Palmer told the club's website that Chelsea means a lot to him and that the club is going in the right direction. Talks with the owners, sporting directors and manager, he said, gave him the confidence to commit, and conversations with teammates showed shared ambitions to win major trophies consistently—a push he wants a big role in. No factual dispute exists across coverage. Outlets differ only in framing: Vanguard News Nigeria led on the 2034 end date, while The Sun and Irish Sun stressed the casual Twitch livestream reveal.
