Chelsea goalkeeper Caballero: Contract extension a 'blessing and privilege'

Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero says he feels “blessed” after the club activated their option to extend his contract.

The 38-year-old’s deal was set to expire this summer but the Blues confirmed on Wednesday that he will remain at Stamford Bridge until summer 2021, having reached an agreement last month.

Argentina international Caballero joined the Premier League outfit in a free transfer from Manchester City in 2017 and has gone on to make 31 appearances.
