Premier League champions Chelsea have rewarded promising midfielder Luke McCormick with a new contract.

According to Chelsea TV reporter Lee Parker, the 18-year-old has committed his future to The Blues until the summer of 2020, having appended his signature to a fresh three-year contract.

McCormick penned his first professional contract with Chelsea in February 2017, twelve years after he first trained with the youth team of the Stamford Bridge outfit.

This season, the Bury St Edmunds native has scored 5 goals and recorded one assist in 13 matches for Chelsea's youth teams.

He captained the Blues U19 squad against Qarabag, Roma and Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Youth League, and also helped the U18s win the FA Youth Cup and U18 Premier League title last season.

Luke McCormick is eligible to represent the national teams of Scotland and England.
