On October 10, Beijing time (CET), Chelsea officially announced the extension of Palmer's contract until 2034. The club then conducted a live interview with Palmer, in which he discussed his decision to extend his contract and his hopes for the future.

Today's interview format is a bit different from usual. You normally play games and do live streams. Today, there's big news that was just officially announced. How are you feeling after signing this new contract?

Of course, I'm delighted. I really enjoy it here, and I think the club is on the right path, so I'm thrilled to have extended my contract.

Why did you choose to extend your contract at this moment? What drove you to sign now?

I've spoken with the club owner, sporting director, and head coach, and they've given me a lot of confidence. For me, staying was the clear choice. I've also spoken with the other players in the team, and everyone shares the same goals. I want to play at the highest level.

What did Xabi Alonso say to you that impressed you when you spoke with him?

Since he arrived, I've enjoyed the responsibility he's given me, so I have to keep fighting for the team and try to repay the club's faith. We've also seen the team's attacking line start the season in great form.

You play with a smile on your face. When we spoke in the summer, you mentioned that you were troubled by injuries last season. Now there are many new players in the team. How does it feel to play alongside these new teammates this season?

It's a big difference. I've rediscovered myself and can produce the running performances I had before. I can shoot, and basically all the technical abilities I possess are back. It feels amazing, especially playing with these talented new players.

Off the pitch, Morgan Rogers is now in the same dressing room as you. How important is that?

Yes, it's great. He's one of my best friends, and of course it's fantastic to have him in the first team, along with the newly joined Henderson and Welbeck. All the new players have had a positive impact.

What's Henderson like in the dressing room? Everyone outside thinks he's very serious and cold.

When Henderson was signed, everyone said he was very serious, but he's actually not like that at all. He sets high standards, but he's very funny and a really good guy, as is Welbeck.

Does having experienced veterans in the team who have played in big matches and won trophies help you a lot?

Of course, that's what we were missing before. We lacked vocal and experienced players, and now that we have them, it makes a huge difference.

Speaking of Morgan Rogers' arrival, he said he spoke with you a few times before deciding to come. What did you tell him to convince him to join Chelsea?

I just told him, come here, you'll make a big difference, and we'll do great things together.

You've been at Chelsea for three years now. Looking back, what memories do you treasure most from wearing the Chelsea shirt?

My first season was incredible—winning trophies, the Club World Cup, and the Europa Conference League. That's probably the peak of my career so far.

Over these three years, how much have you changed as a player and as a person?

I've developed much more mentally than in terms of skills. I've matured a lot, from 21 to 24 years old, both on and off the pitch.

Are you enjoying being part of Chelsea's journey?

It's been wonderful. I took on significant responsibility about three months after joining. Since then, I've performed well, and people started to notice me. I'm really enjoying this experience.

You're now settled in London, and you've just signed a new contract. Do you see Chelsea as your long-term home?

Of course, that's why I've extended my contract. I'm really looking forward to the coming years.

You've won many trophies. What other goals do you feel are waiting to be achieved?

I'm confident we have the ability to consistently compete for major trophies, and I hope we can do that this year and in the years to come.

How is your relationship with the fans?

Since the day I joined, the fans have embraced me, and I'm confident our relationship will only grow stronger.

Is there anything you'd like to say to the fans?

Thank you for your endless support. The team's performances haven't met expectations in recent years, but I and the entire squad believe that Chelsea will return to the top.
