Here's a player Chelsea don't want to lose. The Blues have announced the re-signing of Cole Palmer.
Fabrizio Romno, who follows the European soccer transfer market, reported on Thursday (June 14) that Palmer has re-signed with Chelsea until June 2033. He has signed a nine-year extension and a salary increase. Chelsea officially announced the signing of Palmer on the same day.
It's a great deal. There are a lot of positives for the player. On the one hand, he has a stable job. On the flip side, he'll be playing for Chelsea until 2033. He"ll also spend his prime years at Chelsea. Palmer will be 31 years old in 2033.
Palmer is an English winger born in 2002. He can also play as an attacking midfielder. He started playing soccer for Manchester City"s youth team in 2009. He made his first-team debut in the 2020-21 season against Burnley in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup. He played for City for about three years, until 2023, where he was more of a substitute than a starter.
He found a new team. In September 2023, he moved to Chelsea. And he had a lot of talent. He started 28 of 33 Premier League (PL) games, scoring 22 goals and providing 11 assists for 33 offensive points in the league alone. His season as a whole was arguably one of the best attacking midfielders in the EPL, beyond Chelsea.
Chelsea recognized it. He was named Chelsea's all-time Player of the Year for the 2023-24 season. He also earned numerous other honors, including PL Player of the Month for April, PL attacking points leader, and PFA Fans' Player of the Year.
It's reward time. 'Chelsea will reward Cole Palmer for his outstanding form,' says the Telegraph. They are confident he will remain at Chelsea for the 토토사이트 순위 next 10 years,” the Telegraph reported. “Chelsea are aware of this. They recognize the importance of Palmer's performances and want to reward him with a pay rise.
Palmer is Chelsea's only success. The Blues have built a new Chelsea around Todd Boeli. There was also a change in business policy. They invested in young, talented prospects. The team was rejuvenated. Since then, they"ve brought in Palmer, Axel Dijsassi, Nicolas Jackson, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, and many others. Most of them were expensive. The problem is that Palmer is the only one of these signings that can be considered a 'success'.
Chelsea's league performance last season was disastrous. They finished the first half of the season in the bottom half of the table. However, the second half of the season saw them climb up to sixth place, thanks in large part to the play of Cole Palmer. This summer, it"s questionable whether the transfer market will be as positive. Chelsea have five goalkeepers in their first team squad. It“s possible that they”ll rely on Palmer"s performance again next season.
