Through a statement on their official website, European champions Chelsea have announced that Trevoh Chalobah has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2026.
Following a fine maiden season with Chelsea's first team, Chalobah has been rewarded with a new deal.
Born in Freetown, the central defender is a player of interest to the Sierra Leone Football Association ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 22-year-old Chalobah, an England U21 international, has appeared in ten official matches for Chelsea in 2021-2022, scoring two goals.
Commenting on his new deal, he said : "It’s quite surreal. It’s a dream for me to sign a new long-term contract for my boyhood club and hopefully the dream continues.
"It’s been an unbelievable start to the season and something I never expected but it just shows that the hard work I’ve put in and going out on loans had paid off.
"I tried to impress the manager in pre-season and then take that into the games so it’s been good and consistency now is the key to keep those high levels."
