Cole Palmer is expected to be rewarded for his incredible first season at Chelsea with an improved contract that will include a lucrative pay rise, The Telegraph Sport reports on Tuesday.His current salary at Stamford Bridge is around £80,000 a week, and the Blues’ board believes he deserves a new deal and a much better salary.With the two latest two goals in the draw with Burnley, the former Manchester City striker has been directly involved in 21 Premier League goals for Chelsea. That is more than Eden Hazard managed in his debut season and the same as Cesc Fabregas with ten games remaining.⭐️ Premier League Player of the Month – Cole Palmer#PL | @ChelseaFC | #CFC pic.twitter.com/B5XaaoMxrO— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) April 2, 2024 The 21-year-old forward is also on course to finish his debut season ahead of Diego Costa, who was involved in 23 goals in his first Premier League season at Chelsea, while Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink remains in first place with 32.Still, according to The Telegraph, Palmer earns only about a quarter of what the club’s highest earner, Raheem Sterling, is thought to be earning on a weekly basis.##NAJAVA_MECA_8002302##Having joined Chelsea from Manchester City for £40 million, with £2.5 million in add-ons, Palmer has been one of the signings of the season, scoring 13 League goals and registering eight top-flight assists.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 31Tuesday21:30: (2.00) Newcastle (3.50) Everton (3.70)21:30: (2.65) Nott.Forest (3.40) Fulham (2.80)21:45: (2.70) Burnley (3.35) Wolverhampton (2.80)21:45: (2.00) Bournemouth (3.60) Crystal Palace (4.00)22:15: (3.35) West Ham (3.60) Tottenham (2.10)Wednesday21:30: (2.50) Brentford (3.60) Brighton (2.90)21:30: (1.12) Arsenal (10.0) Luton (16.0)22:15: (1.30) Man.City (5.80) Aston Villa (9.00)Thursday21:30: (1.10) Liverpool (11.0) Sheffield Utd (18.0)22:15: (2.10) Chelsea (3.70) Man.Utd.
