Chelsea tie Palmer down with 6-year deal as rebuild takes shape

Chelsea have secured Cole Palmer’s future with a new six-year contract, making the young England international the centrepiece of their ambitious rebuilding project.

Palmer has been a revelation since his arrival from Manchester City, contributing 20 goals and 10 assists in his debut season at Stamford Bridge. Nicolas Jackson has also flourished alongside Palmer, with the pair forming one of the most exciting young attacking partnerships in the Premier League.

The contract further underlines Chelsea’s commitment to youth development as the foundation of their path back to the elite.
