Premier League giants Chelsea are set to reward their best player with a bumper new contract to keep him at the club for the next ten years.

Cole Palmer is set to be swimming in money for the next decade as Chelsea plan to reward him for his excellent season.

His impressive performances, which include scoring 25 goals in his first season and contributing to England's run to the EURO 2024 final, have earned him recognition and a potential salary increase.

Although Palmer signed a seven-year contract with an option for an additional 12 months last summer, his current wages are relatively modest, around £80,000 per week, which is lower than some of his England teammates.

To reflect his value to the team, Chelsea will provide Palmer with a pay rise to put him on par with the club's leading stars.

Rather than announcing a new contract, the club will adjust his current salary to ensure it better reflects his performances.

According to Telegraph Sport, Chelsea expect their star man to be at the club for the next 10 years and the club will look after him and ensure his wages reflect his performances.

This approach demonstrates Chelsea's commitment to retaining and rewarding their talented players, while also maintaining a private and professional approach to contract negotiations.

Meanwhile, the Blues are set to miss out on Napoli's Victor Osimhen who is reportedly close to joining PSG.

This could clear the way for Romelu Lukaku to finally leave the club as they look to trim the wage bill.
