Chelsea have announced that defender Alfie Gilchrist has signed a new contract with the club until 2026, with an option for a further year.
The academy graduate broke into first team squad this season under Mauricio Pochettino and now made 12 senior appearances for the Blues.
The 20-year-old is a boyhood Chelsea fan with both his grandfather and father having been season ticket holders.
He joined the London club from Queens Park Rangers in 2014 at the age of 11 and has come through the ranks.
‘Signing this contract at Chelsea is a massive achievement for me and my family,’ said Gilchrist.
