Saturday was an excellent day for Chelsea, and not just because they were able to thrash Bournemouth 5-1 at home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the game, they were able to announce that Cole Palmer<\/a> has signed a new contract all the way up until 2034. It is great news, with the attacking midfielder being their best player.<\/p>\n

\n

Since then, Palmer has been discussing some of his favourite moments as a Chelsea<\/a> player. It includes Chelsea\u2019s 4-3 win over Manchester United<\/a> in the 2023\/24 season, which left the 24-year-old so pumped that he could not sleep!<\/p>\n

There were some rumours last season about Palmer being unsettled and unhappy at Chelsea. According to journalist Simon Phillips, that was very well the case as the Englishman weighed up a Chelsea exit.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson starred in Chelsea’s win over Bournemouth, but who is the club’s greatest-ever free transfer? \ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

However, Phillips has claimed on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea<\/a> that the club offered Palmer a \u201csignificant pay rise\u201d, which seems to have convinced him to remain at Stamford Bridge. If Palmer did want to leave the Blues during the summer, a transfer would not have been straightforward.<\/p>\n

The England international was already on a long-term contract, while figures at the club had no intention of selling him. It is thought that Joe Shields in particular was against selling Palmer<\/a>, and you suspect that he was not the only Chelsea director who took that stance.<\/p>\n

Again, Palmer is Chelsea\u2019s best player and has started this season strongly. In six Premier League games, he has scored two goals and provided three assists.<\/p>\n

Alongside Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers, Palmer is now part of arguably the strongest attack in English football. There is no doubt that Xabi Alonso<\/a> will be delighted with the output he is getting from his forward line.<\/p>\n

Pedro bagged a brace in the Bournemouth triumph, while Rogers also managed to get his name on the scoresheet. It was his fourth goal since joining Chelsea from Aston Villa in the summer.<\/p>\n
