Chelsea enjoyed a successful summer transfer window – they could now be set to tie down one of their top players to a long-term contract.
Todd Boehly’s first summer in charge of Chelsea has to be considered a success, considering they had zero time to prepare for it and he had no prior experience leading a football club.
Chelsea followed up on their successful summer by agreeing a new six-year contract with 21-year-old forward Armando Broja, who has been tipped to have an enormous future ahead of him.
Boehly does not appear to be finished there, either, with the Times reporting that Chelsea are close to an agreement with future superstar Reece James over a new deal of his own.
James has established himself as arguably Chelsea’s most important player, from right-wing-back, under Thomas Tuchel’s stewardship. In all three third of the field, he is absolutely superb.
It’d take quite the player to keep Trent Alexander-Arnold out of the England team, and James is exactly that. He’s now set to be rewarded with a lucrative new contract by Chelsea.
The report by the Times claims that both Real Madrid and Manchester City were keeping an eye on James, so every Chelsea fan will be delighted when they see him sign on the dotted line.
