Chelsea have announced via their official webpage that young central defender Jake Clarke-Salter has been rewarded with a new deal.

The England youth international has appended his signature to a four-year contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2020-21 season.

Aged 19, Clarke-Salter helped the Young Lions win the Fifa U20 World Cup in South Korea this summer, and partnered the Nigerian wonderkid Fikayo Tomori in central defense in four matches.

The Carshalton-born young star spent last season on loan at League One club Bristol Rovers.

Jake Clarke-Salter has drawn comparisons to Chelsea legend John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho.
