Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract extension that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2027.
The 26-year-old joined the Blues from Leicester City for a fee of £50m in 2020, and has established himself as an important player under manager Thomas Tuchel.
Chilwell expressed his delight at signing the new deal, saying: “I feel very settled at Chelsea and have really enjoyed my time on the pitch here so I’m very pleased the club want me to be part of the project long-term, and am very happy to sign this extension to my contract. We are working hard for success and I will do my best to bring more smiles to the faces of the fans who have made me feel so welcome.”
The England international has made a total of 80 appearances for Chelsea, and was part of the squad that lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021. Chilwell’s impressive performances have seen him establish himself as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, with his attacking prowess and defensive abilities making him a valuable asset for the Blues.
Chilwell’s decision to sign a new contract extension is a huge boost for Chelsea, who are looking to build on their recent success and challenge for more silverware in the upcoming seasons. The left-back’s commitment to the club will also reassure Chelsea fans, who will be pleased to see one of their key players pledging his future to the club.
With Chilwell set to be a key part of Chelsea’s plans for the foreseeable future, the Blues will be hoping that he can continue to perform at the highest level and help the team achieve their goals. Chelsea is currently in contention for a top-four finish in the Premier League and is also competing in the Champions League and FA Cup. The club’s fans will be hoping that Chilwell can help them to achieve success on all fronts in the coming years.
