It seems that Lewis Dunk will not be making a summer transfer move to Chelsea this window.

With the club seeking to improve the defence this summer, there has been alot of speculation in the media suggesting that we were keen on trying to complete a transfer deal for Dunk, who is regarded as one of the best central defenders in the premier League.

But just as quick as the rumours popped up, they have now been closed after The 28-year-old has ultimately decided to extend his stay on the South Coast, as he remains fully committed to Graham Potter’s project in the Premier League.

“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract,” Dunk told the club’s official website after the announcement on Friday. “The aim now is to build on a record Premier League season and help the club continue its recent progress over the next five years.”

Potter added on Dunk’s new deal: “We’re absolutely delighted that Lewis has made this long-term commitment to the club. It’s fantastic news for everyone: the club, the supporters, the team and myself.

“Since I came to the club he’s been a joy to work with and he’s a top player. We are very lucky to have him.

“I think his role as captain is one he’s grown into and one he will do better and better for the next few years.

“He leads by example on the pitch and he’s a good lad off it – a delight to work with.

“We’re all determined to push on next season and establish the club in the Premier League and I’m really pleased that Lewis will be with us on that journey.”
