However, the 19-year-old is yet to reveal his stand over his future as he continues to ponder his chances of getting many first-team opportunities next season.

Considering the level of progress he's made at Stamford Bridge over the years, Uwakwe should accept the new deal as soon as possible to continue his growth.

The highly-rated youngster must ensure a steady growth in his career and that's what the West London club have provided him for more than ten years.

As much as it's important to get regular first-team actions at tender age, Uwakwe shouldn't be too eager to make his debut for the senior squad.

Uwakwe has a bright chance of making his first-team debut next season as he might impress the new Chelsea manager after Maurizio Sarri confirmed his departure yesterday.

Staying with the Europa League champions will ultimately save him from the struggles of settling into a new environment and the unnecessary pressure of impressing his new clubs or fans.

Uwakwe still has a lot to learn from Chelsea's well-established players should he accept his new deal.
