Cole Palmer has signed a new Chelsea contract to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge until 2033.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is now on a nine-year deal with improved terms after a sensational breakthrough season in west London.
Palmer scored 25 goals and contributed 15 assists in 45 appearances during his first season at Chelsea after a £42.5m move from Manchester City last summer.
The Blues have been keen to reward the England international, who scored in the 2-1 Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain in July, with a deal which will be announced in the coming days.
Palmer is on the shortlist for the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year awards to be announced in Salford next week, and claimed the Premier League Young Player of the Season award for 2023-24.
The Blues face Manchester City on the opening day of the Premier League season on Sunday, with manager Enzo Maresca opening his campaign against his former employers, where he won the Treble in 2022-23 as assistant to Pep Guardiola.
Last season, Maresca led Leicester City back to the Premier League by winning the Championship title.
