Cole Palmer, the 24‑year‑old England international, has agreed a new contract with Chelsea that runs until 2034, rewarding his early‑season goal contributions. The deal makes him one of the longest‑serving players in the Premier League and underscores his growing role as a leader in Xabi Alonso’s side.
PFA chief Maheta Molango said Chelsea forward Cole Palmer is a “victim” of an unsustainable football calendar after he withdrew from the England squad. Molango called for a mandatory three‑week summer break, highlighting concerns over player welfare across Europe.
Chelsea forward Cole Palmer will miss the international break after withdrawing from England’s Nations League squad because of a minor injury. He had been recalled by Thomas Tuchel following his omission from the World Cup squad, but the injury forces him to sit out the four upcoming games.
