Ben Chilwell is set to commit his future to Chelsea by signing a new four-year deal that will prolong the full-back’s stay from 2025 until 2027, according to The Athletic.
The Chelsea hierarchy want to avoid any squad member entering the final 24 months of their contract territory and reports suggested Manchester City are keen to recruit the England international.
Chilwell has established himself among Chelsea’s most important players and the possibility of his departure would be unpalatable for many fans.
Amid a turbulent period at Chelsea, the extension of Chilwell’s deal at least offers some positive news — while also confirming the 26-year-old’s standing in the eyes of the American-led ownership group.
