Reece James has signed a new six-year contract that sees him commit his future to Stamford Bridge until 2028. The wing-back has said he is 'over the moon' with the deal and believes the club has a bright future moving forwards.
James has been with the club since the age of six and extending his stay on better terms has been seen as a priority of the new hierarchy since completing their takeover earlier this year. The 22-year-old has already racked up 128 appearances for the Blues since his breakout season in 2019/20.
The Cobham product has reinforced his qualities this season and proved vital to Chelsea's attacking and defensive impetus in the opening weeks of the season. While the Blues have had a slow start to this term, James, who has already won the Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super League with the club, has his sights on winning many trophies.
