Cole Palmer has signed a new Chelsea contract on improved terms until 2034.

The England international, 24, was already under contract until 2033 but is being rewarded for his performances following his emergence as one of Chelsea's key attacking players.

He is also increasingly viewed as a dressing-room leader behind the scenes.

The deal leaves Palmer on one of the longest contracts in the Premier League, with only Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Chelsea team-mates Joao Pedro and Geovany Quenda also contracted to 2034.

Palmer signed his previous contract only two years ago having joined in a £42.5m move from Manchester City in 2023.
