Promising Nigerian Midfielder Inks New Deal With Chelsea
Published: June 29, 2019
Promising Nigerian midfielder Tariq Uwakwe has ended all speculation surrounding his future by inking a new deal with 2019 Europa League winners Chelsea.
The 19-year-old would have been a free agent on July 1 but has decided to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
Uwakwe has retweeted a post from Jamal Reid of Colossal Sports Management, who looks after him, confirming that he has accepted the offer of a new contract and penned the deal.
It is believed that an official announcement will be made by The Blues next month.
Allnigeriasoccer.com previously reported that the central midfielder was offered to Lyon as he had wanted to explore other options but any proposed move is dead in the water for the time being.
Born in London, Uwakwe joined Chelsea Academy at U9 level and rose through the ranks before becoming an important member of the U23 team.
He represented Chelsea youth teams in the UEFA Youth League, Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy last season.
