Chelsea youngster Chalobah signs new contract

Chelsea youngster Trevoh Chalobah has signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract.

The 18-year-old defender – brother of former Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah – was recently called up to the first-team squad for the first time. He was an unused substitute for Sunday’s game at Manchester City.

“It’s great and I think it shows the hard work I’ve put in,” Chalobah told Chelsea’s website.

“For me being at this club for a long time, it shows my development and now I have to just keep on going.

“It’s important now that I don’t relax, keep my head down to work hard and focus on the big games coming up.”
