Speaking about his decision to sign the new deal, Palmer said discussions with the club’s ownership, sporting directors, manager and teammates strengthened his confidence in Chelsea’s direction.
“Chelsea means a lot to me and I think the club is going in the right direction, so I’m delighted to sign and I’m obviously very happy,” he said.
“Speaking to the owners, to the sporting directors and obviously the manager, they gave me a lot of confidence so it was only right to sign.”
Palmer added that the players shared the ambition of winning major trophies and said he wanted to play a significant role in achieving those objectives.
“Speaking to players as well, everyone has the same ambitions. I feel like we win major trophies here consistently,” he said.
Chelsea have continued to secure the futures of key first-team players through long-term contracts as the club looks to build a competitive squad for the coming seasons.
