In the FA Cup semi-final, Chelsea battled their way to another trip to Wembley after stunningly upsetting Championship leaders Leicester City. The performance of star summer signing Cole Palmer, who is rumored to be receiving a new, lucrative contract, was the primary factor in their victory.
Chelsea Wants Cole Palmer to Be Happy Following An Incredible Debut Season
Is Palmer Ready For A New, Big Contract From Chelsea?
In response to claims that the Blues are attempting to extend Palmer’s existing contract, which expires in 2028, with a new agreement that would treble his rumored £75,000-a-week pay, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that “I’m Aware” of the reports. Given that the 21-year-old only signed his first Chelsea contract eight months ago after signing from Manchester City, the journalist maintains that it is too soon to make any assumptions about these matters.
Romano maintains that the London heavyweights are eager to maintain their star winger content following his incredible first season, in which he not only scored a goal but also set up Carney Chukwuemeka’s goal in the 4-2 victory over Leicester. It is also stated that Palmer is happy with his current circumstances at Stamford Bridge and that there are no problems inside the team or Palmer regarding his contract.
How Chelsea Signee Cole Palmer Has Proven To Be A Transformational
The 21-year-old has been Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s mainstay this season and is having his finest season personally at Chelsea. For the most part of the 2023–24 season, he has been a right winger, but he has also occasionally filled in as an offensive midfielder and false nine. During his first season, the Englishman made 35 appearances for the Blues, with 12 assists and 14 goals across all competitions.
This included advancing them to the FA Cup semifinal and the Carabao Cup final, when they were defeated by Liverpool. He has so far led them to numerous victories in the Premier League with 11 goals and 8 assists. Palmer, who is a strong contender for both the PFA Young Player of the Season title and the probable Golden Boy title winner in the upcoming Ballon d’Or honors, was praised for his “amazing” football IQ by teammate Chukwuemeka during the Leicester City match.
