Chelsea have agreed a new long-term contract with the academy graduate Reece James.

The defender has established himself as one of the best right wing-backs. In total, the 22-year-old has scored 10 goals and registered 20 assists in 128 appearances across all competitions, including 22 goals from 87 outings in the English top flight.

His performances have understandably attracted interest from other top clubs with the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The Blues have announced that the full-back has now committed his future to his boyhood club until 2028.

The news of his contract extension follows the announcement on Friday evening that Armando Broja had also put pen to paper on fresh terms at Stamford Bridge.
