Chelsea have submitted their retained list to the Premier League ahead of the 2019-2020 season.
In their player update, the 2019 Europa League winners confirmed that England youth international of Nigerian descent, Tariq Uwakwe has been offered a new contract.
The midfielder would be classed as a free agent come July 1 if he does not put pen to paper on the fresh deal.

Meanwhile, as many as eight Nigeria-eligible players have been retained by the Stamford Bridge outfit, including three who have made appearances for the Super Eagles.
Victor Moses, Kenneth Omeruo and Ola Aina have been retained along with Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, Faustino Anjorin, Ike Ugbo and Jordan Aina.
