Why Palmer will miss out on goal bonus despite level with Haaland

Despite his remarkable goal-scoring record this season, Cole Palmer is reportedly set to miss out on a goal bonus.

According to reports, the Chelsea star failed to negotiate such terms in his contract.

Palmer’s performance against Everton saw him notch a stunning four-goal haul, bringing him into contention for the Premier League Golden Boot alongside Erling Haaland.

However, UK Sun Sport reveals that Palmer’s contract with Chelsea does not include provisions for a goal bonus, regardless of how many he scores.

The 21-year-old, who made the switch from Manchester City to Chelsea last summer, has exceeded expectations with his stellar performances.

His decision to depart from City, where he faced stiff competition for a starting spot, has proven fruitful, as he emerged as one of the Premier League’s most lethal attackers.

Despite his impressive goal tally of 23 goals in all competitions, including 20 in the Premier League, Palmer will not reap the financial rewards typically associated with such achievements.
