🚨 Official: Chelsea extend key player's contract until 2032 | OneFootball

Chelsea has officially announced the contract extension of its captain Reece James (26 years old) until 2032.

Trained at Cobham, the prestigious Blues academy, the English full-back — now converted into a box-to-box midfielder — climbed all the ranks at Chelsea before establishing himself in the first team.

Finally free from the physical setbacks that had held him back since the club’s European triumph in 2021, James will have the mission of leading this young London squad to the heights of English and European football. The average age of the squad is 23.

Over the past two years, Chelsea has succeeded in extending the contracts of Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, and Reece James. The spine of the team has been strengthened.
