Chelsea have announced the contract extension of Aniek Nouwen, with the centre-half set to spend the remainder of the 2022/23 season on loan with AC Milan.
The extension sees the 23-year-old remain with the reigning league champions until the summer of 2025. Nouwen joined the Blues from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2021, putting pen-to-paper on a three-year contract.
And Nouwen has been touted as “one of the best young defenders in the world” by Chelsea general manager Paul Green, with her loan spell at AC Milan, who sit fifth in Serie A but just six points shy of runners-up Juventus, viewed as a prime opportunity for the Dutch youngster to hone her craft with consistent senior football.
