Norway U17 international Bryan Fiabema has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal, keeping him at Chelsea until 2023.

Having said that, Chelsea have informed that Jordan has signed a rolling one-month extension as he seeks to find a new club.
The 18-year-old Aina, who joined Chelsea as an U9, trained with Swansea City in February with a view to a transfer.
Tariq Uwakwe, Ike Ugbo and Faustino Anjorin have been retained by The Blues for the 2020-2021 season.
