Published: June 08, 2020
With a statement on their official website, English Premier League club Chelsea have announced that England U19 international of Nigerian descent, Faustino Anjorin has extended his contract with the club.
The attacking midfielder cum winger, who is on the radar of the Nigeria Football Federation, has put pen to paper on a five-year contract with Chelsea.
Anjorin has been rewarded with a new deal following his senior breakthrough this season, with appearances against Everton in the Premier League and Grimsby Town in the League Cup.
Commenting on his new deal, Anjorin said : "It’s a brilliant feeling. I’ve been at the club since I was six years old so to get to this stage and then be offered another five-year contract on top of that is amazing.
"I had no hesitation but to take it straight away because to play for the club I always dreamed of playing for is really special for me."
