Chelsea set to offer Cole Palmer with bumper new pay deal

Cole Palmer has scored 11 goals this season

Cole Palmer of Chelsea is apparently about to receive a massive pay boost that will quadruple his wage as a reward for a stellar first season at Stamford Bridge. The attacking midfielder has emerged as one of the Blues’ most impressive players during a lacklustre season.

Palmer remarkably adapted swiftly after joining from Premier League rivals Manchester City midway through the summer transfer window. The 21-year-old is one of the greatest players in Mauricio Pochettino’s young squad and has scored 13 goals in all competitions despite playing just 489 minutes of top-flight football prior to this season.

The Chelsea management has apparently taken note of Palmer’s performance and is planning to extend an attractive deal to him. The Daily Star reports that the attacking midfield player’s weekly salary will increase from £75,000 to £150,000.Palmer’s £42 million move from City now seems like a steal because of his form, even though the amount was questioned at the time. As a reward, he was included for the first time in the England team.

Palmer might be chosen for this summer’s Euro 2024 if the Three Lions play well in their friendly against Brazil and Belgium. A seat on the flight to Germany would complete an incredible ascent.

“If you had told me at the start of the season I had a chance to go to the Euros I wouldn’t have believed it,” Palmer said after shining in Chelsea’s victory over Newcastle last Monday. “I will take each game as it comes and see what happens in the summer.”

“You can see and have always been able to see the quality he has,” Southgate said of the Chelsea man on Thursday. “The time we spent with the U21s last summer just watching the training sessions you could see what an outstanding technical finisher he was.

“Some players get chances and you expect them to score because their technique and feel for finishing is so strong – he has that. He’s shown great composure in some real pressure moments for his club.

“He’s adaptable. He can play two or three different positions, maybe more. He’s had an outstanding season and yet again is in on merit.”

Palmer is included in the team for the games in March thanks to his versatility and finishing touch, according to England boss Gareth Southgate. Palmer has been capped at every level since the U15s and excelled at the U21 European Championship held last summer.
