  • His impressive debut season has earned him an increase in his weekly $110,399 salary

Chelsea’s winger Cole Palmer has earned an increase in his weekly salary of $110,399 due to his impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge. Initially, he signed a seven-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.

The 21-year-old joined Chelsea from Manchester City for an initial 40 million pounds in September last year, and since then, he has had an impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge, that will see him earn an increment in his weekly earnings.

In his first 35 games for Chelsea, he scored 16 goals and 12 assists across all competitions and was rewarded with a senior England debut in November last year. His consistency and performance have proved that he will help his team in gaining success this season. He showcased his potential in a game against Burnley on Saturday.

We expect him to play a role in the face against Manchester City FA Cup semi-finals this month, as he has been the team’s standout performer this season. An increment in his weekly earnings is a way of motivation for his impressive performance.

Born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on May 6 2002, his football journey began at Manchester City’s academy at the age of eight. He progressed through the youth ranks and in season 2019-20, he captained the City under-18s to FA Youth Cup glory, even scoring in the final.

He received call-ups to the senior team as a substitute on a few occasions and the next season marked his official men’s first-team debut in the Carabao Cup against Burnley. A year later, he netted his first senior goal in the same competition against Wycombe Wanderers as his performance continued to impress, suggesting a bright future in the football world.

In 2023, he signed with Chelsea, a move that showcased the high regard clubs have for his talent and potential. He has represented England at various youth levels including the under-17 team at the 2019 UEFA European under-17 Championship.

His impressive performance culminated in a place in the England squad that triumphed at the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and in late 2023, he received a call-up to the senior England national team.

With his recent transfer to Chelsea and his senior call to the England squad, it is evident that the 21-year-old has already secured his future in the football world as it appears incredibly bright.

Palmers move to Chelsea and salary increment

Palmer had a breakthrough point when he signed with English Premier League club Chelsea in 2023, on a seven-year contract when he transferred from Manchester City. The deal also includes an option for an additional year, potentially extending his stay at the club to eight years in total.

The transfer price for Palmer was worth $50.6 million initially, with an additional $3.16 million in add-ons, depending on performance. He has been one of the most consistent players at Chelsea with 16 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, becoming a vital part of their attack.

He can play in several positions like an attacking midfielder or a winger, offering tactical flexibility.  The winger has earned an increase in his weekly salary of $110,399 due to his impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge. Initially, he signed a seven-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.

What to expect from Palmer at Chelsea

It is not easy to predict someone’s future performance though we can base it on his performance. Palmer is a young talented player with a lot of confidence. The fact that he has adapted well to Chelsea’s system, then there is no reason for a drop in his performance.

With regular playing time at the club, he will continue impressing with his performance and could even become more influential for Chelsea.
