On October 10, Chelsea officially announced the contract extension with Palmer until 2034. Following the announcement, the club conducted an exclusive interview with Palmer, in which he discussed his decision to extend and his expectations for the future.

Today's interview format is a bit different from usual. You normally play games and livestream, but today there's an important official announcement. How do you feel after signing this new contract?

Of course, I'm very happy. I really like it here, and I think the club is heading in the right direction, so I'm delighted to have extended my contract.

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

I spoke with the club owner, the sporting director, and the head coach, and they gave me a lot of confidence. I believe staying is a clear choice. I also spoke with other players in the squad, and everyone shares the same goal. I hope to compete at the highest level.

When you spoke with Enzo Maresca, what did he say that impressed you?

Since he arrived, I've really enjoyed the responsibilities he's given me, so I need to continue with the team and work hard to repay the club's faith. We've also seen the team's attack start the season in great form.

You play football with a smile on your face. When we spoke during the summer, you mentioned dealing with injuries last season. Now the club has many new signings. How does it feel different playing alongside these new teammates this season?

It's a huge difference. I've rediscovered myself and regained my previous running ability. I can shoot, and essentially all the technical skills I'm good at are back. It feels fantastic, especially playing with these talented new signings.

Beyond football, how important is it to have Morgan Rogers now in the dressing room with you?

Yes, it's wonderful. He's one of my closest friends, and it's great to have him in the squad. Additionally, Henderson and Welbeck, who are new arrivals, and all the new signings have brought a positive impact.

What's Henderson like in the dressing room? People outside think he's very distant and serious.

When we signed Henderson, people said he was very serious, but that's not actually the case. He sets high standards, but he's funny and a good person. Welbeck is the same way.

Has having experienced veterans who have played in many big matches and won major trophies been very helpful to the squad?

Absolutely, that's exactly what we were missing before. We lacked experienced players who weren't afraid to speak up, and now that we have them, it helps tremendously.

Speaking of Morgan Rogers' arrival, he mentioned speaking with you multiple times before deciding to join. What did you tell him to convince him to come to 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 cherish most wearing a Chelsea shirt?

My first season was fantastic. Winning trophies, the Club World Cup and Europa Conference League, was probably the peak of my career so far.

Over these three years, you've changed a lot as a player and as a person, haven't you?

Beyond my technical skills, I've matured a lot mentally. I've grown significantly from age 21 to 24. I've become more mature both on and off the pitch.

Have you enjoyed this journey with Chelsea?

It's been amazing. I started taking on important responsibilities about three months after joining. Since then, I've performed well, and people started to notice me. I've really enjoyed this experience.

You've settled in London. Now that you've signed a new contract, do you consider Chelsea your long-term home?

Of course, that's why I extended. I'm really looking forward to the years ahead.

You've already won many trophies. What goals do you still have left to accomplish?

I believe we have the capability to compete consistently for major titles, and I hope we can do that this year and in the years to come.

How is your relationship with the fans?

From the day I joined, the fans accepted me, and I believe our relationship will only get better.

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

Thank you all for your continued support. The team's performance hasn't met expectations over the past few years, but I and the entire squad are confident that Chelsea will definitely return to the top.
