Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino says it’s too soon for new players like Cole Palmer to think about improving his contract from the first season. Even if he performs well. In the case of the recently extended obligation of Alfie Gilchrist. Because he is a football player, he must be raised to inspire.

a few days ago The Blues recently announced a contract extension for the 20-year-old defender until the end of June 2026. With the option to extend for another season. Of course, it pleases Pochettino because the player is in the plans. UFABET  It is also a role model for Academy players to take seriously in hopes of inserting them into the senior team. 

“To be honest I think it’s good for players coming through the academy.” Pochettino said ahead of the home game against Manchester United (April 4).

“You can see he has passion for the jersey. How big is this club’s badge? Congratulations to Alfie on his new contract.”

“In Palmer’s case, he’s just joined the team and is obviously playing well. 

“I’m not sure how much time is left on the contract, 5, 6, or even seven years. You don’t have to worry instead. Because I am sure that when the time comes to award the players. The club will definitely do it.” 

“He played football. That’s why he was brought here. Cole is one of the offensive players that has done well. I assumed before signing the contract that he would play the way he does now.” 

Palmer is Chelsea’s top scorer in the league with 13 goals and three assists. The current contract runs until June 2030, with an option to extend for another year.
