Chelsea youngster Anjorin to sign new deal as Lampard prepares to give him first-team chance

The exciting young midfielder is set to be one of many academy stars to renew their contract as they see others flourish in the first team

Chelsea are preparing to tie down Tino Anjorin to a new contract as Frank Lampard looks likely to include him in his matchday squad to face Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.

The 17-year-old sees his contract expire in June 2021 but Lampard's appointment has shown there are opportunities for academy stars and he is keen to continue at the club.

Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash sees the Blues face League Two opposition and gives Lampard a chance to rest senior stars and give debuts to various prospects from the academy.
