Cole Palmer has extended his Chelsea contract by two years, keeping him at the club until 2033.
Already contracted until 2031 after joining from Manchester City in a surprise move last summer, the 22-year-old has signed fresh terms after just one season at Stamford Bridge.
"I’m delighted to sign this new deal," Palmer said after putting pen to paper. "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."
In a stellar debut campaign, Palmer scored 25 goals and provided 15 assists in 45 matches across all competitions, which earned him a call-up to Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2024.
After getting a taste of first-team football at City, Palmer swapped Manchester for West London and signed a seven-year contract in a deal worth £40 million, rising to £42.5m in potential add-ons.
He was one of six big-money signings made by the Blues and arrived through the doors at Stamford Bridge alongside Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson.
In a relatively slow start to life in the capital, it took Palmer six games to find the net for his first Chelsea goal which came from the spot against Burnley in October 2023.
His first four goals were penalties as he became the team's favoured spot-kick taker, and once the goals started flowing they did not stop.
His prolific goalscoring form quickly caught the eye of England boss Southgate and the versatile forward made his Three Lions debut in November 2023.
He scored 11 goals in just six games earlier in 2024, including two hat-tricks in wins over Manchester United and Everton.

Palmer continued to be the shining light in a struggling Chelsea team that flirted with the bottom half of the table for much of the season, before his excellence accelerated them to a top-six finish.
He was often used off the bench during England's Euro 2024 campaign and capped off his remarkable breakthrough with a goal in the final, despite falling to defeat to Spain.
